I'm a bit worried about my bilirubin levels since I noticed some mild variations in my latest report. Could you take a look at my results attached here? My total bilirubin is 1.53, with a direct bilirubin of 0.3 and an indirect level of 1.23. Also, my AST (SGOT) is 53 and AST (SGPT) is 77. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it within normal ranges?
