You will have to ask your consultant that every single hospital is different with deciphering results and numbers

If I understand well, total bilirubin is the sum of direct and indirect bilirubin. There seems to be a third kind of bilirubin called delta-bilirubin as well, but for some reason it is generally not taken into account. At least I've never seen that value in my labs. Maybe it is just a tiny amount? I have no idea.

Better ask your consultant.

Good luck.
