the results on my blood work the last 5 yrs. show a High Total Bilirubin 1.1 Reference 0.3-1.0 MG/DL. I have (maybe) 1 marg. a month, maybe 1 glass of wine a month. I don t really consume alcohol. I live at 7200 ft., and many of our babies born in the hosptl. here (8500 ft.) have this affliction at birth. What can I do to lower this number ? Thank you.
Hi friend, Welcome to Chat Doctor If the liver enzymes are normal and bilirubin alone is raised, it is often an inherited condition - of blood like Haemoglobinopathy or Liver like Gilbert's.  It may not have anything to do with your residence or rare alcohol... A hematologist and/or Hepatologist can confirm, by specific investigations Take tarnishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
