Total bilirubin 20.3 μmol/L and direct bilirubin 10.1 μmol/L are slightly above the normal range.
Generally speaking, the normal value of total bilirubin is 3.4~17.1μmol/L, and the normal value of direct bilirubin is 0~6.8μmol/L, with slight variations in different hospitals and different instruments.
Bilirubin is an important indicator to reflect the function of liver and blood system. Elevated total bilirubin and direct bilirubin are commonly found in viral hepatitis, biliary tract obstructive disease, alcoholic liver disease, etc. Certain anti-tuberculosis drugs, chemotherapy drugs, etc. may cause transient elevation of bilirubin, and a large number of recent strenuous exercise may also lead to a temporary and mild elevation of bilirubin.
Mild elevation of bilirubin for unknown reasons should be reviewed after 3~5 days, if it continues to rise, it is recommended to consult a doctor immediately in order to avoid delaying the condition.
