That sounds a littel high. What are your liver enzyme levels? and are you jaundice?
Um... YES!! The high normal bilirubin level is 1.5
From the glossary of medical terms the answer is: BILIRUBIN
Check the bilirubin level.
well, you see.. jaundice is caused by the elevation of UNCONJUGATED bilirubin level in our blood.. a high level of unconjugated bilirubin in blood will enter our body tissue and make our skin looks yellow.bilirubin is metabolized in the liver, thus making the unconjugated bilirubin changed into conjugated one. and these conjugated bilirubin will be excreted to our intestine and it will give color to our urine an feces.in patients with choledocolithiasis, there is an obstruction caused by the gallstone inside the duct where conjugated bilirubin should be excreted.. this obstruction makes the liver unable to metabolize the unconjugated bilirubin, and so the level of unconjugated bilirubin will rise, having effect of jaundice.

A low bilirubin level may indicate impairment of bilirubin production or an underlying medical condition such as anemia or malnutrition. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
In jaundice, bilirubin levels typically exceed 2.5 to 3.0 mg/dL, leading to the yellowing of the skin and eyes. Elevated bilirubin can result from various causes, including liver disease, hemolysis, or bile duct obstruction. The specific level can vary depending on the underlying condition and its severity. Monitoring bilirubin levels is crucial for diagnosing and managing the underlying causes of jaundice.
The bilirubin level test in amniotic fluid can be invalidated by factors such as contamination with maternal blood, which can artificially elevate bilirubin levels. Additionally, the timing of the sample collection relative to the rupture of membranes can affect the results, as bilirubin may diffuse from the fetal blood into the amniotic fluid over time. Proper handling and processing of the sample are crucial to ensure accurate results.
A bilirubin level of 29 mg/dL is considered high and may indicate a medical condition that requires further evaluation. Normal total bilirubin levels typically range from about 0.1 to 1.2 mg/dL. Elevated bilirubin can result from liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

A total bilirubin of 9 is fine. Some hospitals state it should be under 12, some state it should be under 17. Bilirubin blood test levels are one of those things where "lower is better". (Bilirubin is a byproduct which you liver is supposed to excrete in bile, which is then excreted via your digestive system. If your liver is not excreting bilirubin in bile, your blood bilirubin level increases, showing that your liver isn't quite right.)
jaundice the normal serum bilirubin level is 0.5 to 1.5mg%. jaundice occurs when the bilirubin level exceeds 2mg%. the increased blood level of bilirubin is called hyperbilirubinemia. excess bilirubin from blood diffuses into the tissues, skin and mucous membrane, colouring them yellow. this condition caused by overflow of bilirubin is called jaundice.
