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.)
