Indirect bilirubin of 20 μmoL/L is considered high.
Indirect bilirubin, also known as unconjugated bilirubin, has a normal range of 1.7-10.2 μmoL/L. Changes in the value of indirect bilirubin can help the doctor to understand the function of the liver, determine the severity of the disease and its prognosis, and identify the type of jaundice. Therefore, indirect bilirubin of 20 μmoL/L is high.
High indirect bilirubin can be seen in acute jaundice hepatitis, cirrhosis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, neonatal hemolysis, falciparum malaria, hereditary spherocytosis, hemolytic jaundice, paroxysmal sleep hemoglobinuria, and other diseases.
It is recommended to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to make a judgment if the indirect bilirubin is elevated, and it is not advisable to make a blind judgment on your own.
