Raised direct and indirect bilirubin (Gilbert's Syndrome ?)

I made a post a few weeks ago about on going raised bilirubin and ferritin.

I did more blood tests:

My ferritin is now 370 (<400) from 538 a few months ago;

My Transferrin saturation index is now 40% (<40%) from 56% before;

My bilirubin is now 29 (<21) mmol from 37 a month ago. However they did direct (conjugated) and is 9 mmol or 0.5 mg/dl.

ALK 45 iu/l, AST 29 iu/l, ALT 30iu/l and GGT

21iu/l.

I'm going crazy over this. All liver values look ok(?). However for this to be Gilbert's shouldn't the direct bilirubin be lower?

I read some other post with someone with a similar direct bilirubin value and were diagnosed with Gilbert's. But still from all I've read it doesn't makes much sense.

Any people here diagnosed with Gilbert's with a similar case?

CarlosCt,

That was an error - in copying and pasting from an earlier post - my post appears to be from 'admin'

However, these are the guidelines of this group.
