Hi, I recently went through a full body blood test. Other tests were fine and values are within the normal range, but my direct bilirubin level is 0.4 (normal range 0.0 to 0.3) and my indirect bilirubin level is 0.9. I just want to check if there is any need to worry and if there is any advice regarding this? Warm regards.

A direct bilirubin of 0.4 (slightly above range) and indirect bilirubin of 0.9 are not concerning if your liver function tests are otherwise normal.
Mild variations can occur due to dehydration, recent illness, or fasting.
Drink adequate water and maintain a balanced diet.
Avoid alcohol and heavy oily food to support liver health.
You can book a Liver Function Test (LFT) after 2 to 3 months to recheck bilirubin levels for reassurance.
