Do I need treatment for my slightly elevated total bilirubin level during the physical examination?

Patient's question:

I have a high total bilirubin level of 2.6 in my health check-up, and the indirect bilirubin is also high at 2.6. What is the situation? Is there a need for treatment?

Doctor's answer:

If bilirubin is high, it's still considered that liver function isn't very good. Do you have any symptoms? Have you been taking many medications that are harmful to the liver, or many liver-protecting supplements, on a regular basis? However, it's recommended to do a re-examination approximately once a year. Patients with high total bilirubin can, while understanding and treating the symptoms, also use home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
