UK bilirubin result

I'm new to this site.

How worrying is a reading for bilirubin of 29 umol/L?

I understand the "normal" range is about 0 - 21 umol?

My blood pressure is normal, my cholesterol and triglyceride levels are fine, my blood sugar levels are fine. Generally, my health is good and I am active and reasonably fit for someone in their 60's.

I do have acid reflux which is controlled by Lansoprazole 15 mg daily.

Does this bilirubin level suggest a narrowing of the bile duct or a gall bladder problem etc? Do I need to speak to my doctor about this?

Hi

Welcome to group- 29 is high but there may be reasons - your dr will have a better idea - mine is always high often over 30, although my other bloods are stable - but my dr thinks I probably have Gilbert syndrome and we just monitor it.
