Worrying blood test results ...

Hello,

This is my first post - last week I noticed some quite dark patches under both arms.

Was seen by GP in an hour ... gave me Clotrimazole Cream which has reduced the tone of my skin. GP said it was acanthosis nigricans... ,??

Sent me for bloods including LFT and various tests FBC.

These came back ALL Normal except Bilirubin was 40 up from 36 last October. I was diagnosed years ago with Gilbert syndrome. Could this be the cause of high bilirubin ?

Cant speak to GP for 2 weeks non urgent appointment - am still a bit worried.

Anyone had similar experience to this ?

I take statins etc have a few health conditions and a few nights a week enjoy a few beers no spirits etc.

Any input is appreciated and thank you 😊

Yes, definitely. This is how it looks like. Do not worry about this test.
