How to pinpoint what my high bilirubin means?

[blacklac]

I got some blood work done last winter. It was a pre cycle (1-DHEA) blood work.

Here are the results:

Glucose, serum. 97mg/dL. (65-99)
BUN. 16mg/dL. (6-20)
Creatinine, serum 1.33mg/dL (0.76-1.27). HIGH
eGFR (non AfricanAmerican) 72
BUN/Creatinine ratio 12 (8-19)
Sodium, serum. 141mmol/L (134-144
Potassium, serum. 4.6mmol/L (3.5-5.2)
Chloride, serum. 101mmol/L (97-108)
Carbon Diox, total. 24mmol/L. (19-28)
Calcium, serum. 9.5mg/dL. (8.7-10.2)
Protein, total, serum. 7.4g/dL (6-8.5)
Albumin, serum. 5g/dL. (3.5-5.5)
Globulin, total. 2.4g/dL. (1.5-4.5)
A/G ratio. 2.1 (1.1-2.5)
Bilirubin, total. 2.1mg/dL. (0.0-1.2). HIGH
Alkaline Phos, S. 65IU/L (39-117)
AST (SGOT). 24IU/L. (0-40
ALT (SGPT). 12IU/L (0-44)

Cholesterol, Total. 193mg/dL. (100-199)
Triglycerides. 86mg/dL. (0-149)
HDL Cholesterol. 59mg/dL (>39)
VLDL Chol Cal. 17mg/dL. (5-40)
LDL Chol Calc. 117mg/dL (0-99) HIGH

Testosterone, Total. 459.6ng/dL (349-1197)
Free Test (Direct). 11.6pg/mL. (9.3-26.5)
LH. 4.5mIU/mL. (1.7-8.6)
FSH. 2.3mIU/mL. (1.5-12.4)
Estradiol. 35.7pg/mL. (7.6-42.6)
SHBG. 21nmol/L. (16.5-55.9)

I did take 3-4 days off the gym beforehand. I was also taking ~1/2 dose of CEL Cycle Assist, preparing for my "cycle".

Was also taking ~5g Creatine ~4days a week. Various amino acids preworkout, TMG, L-Citrulline (Malate), Agmatine, etc...



I THINK I was told I had high bilirubin when I was ~10y/o, with no follow up. I can't say that for sure though. My parents do not have elevated bilirubin.

Should I have more/different tests to get a better idea of what's going on?

I'm curious because id like to go on more cycles, if there's no direct health risk.

Elevated bilirubin is a sign of jaundice. Do you have any other signs such as yellowing of to skin or the whites of your eyes? Could be something else with your liver. Get more testing.

Not at all. Been drinking beer for years (30y/o). No issues at all. Wouldn't have known had I not had blood work.









FWIW, I rarely drink anymore, especially around the time I had this blood test. Also drinking the most water, ever, these last 2 years.









That's the thing, I'm not sure exactly what follow up tests id get.



Had my Appendix removed a few years ago. Dunno if there's any correlation, there.

The test was also done over Winter and I live in Michigan. Just throwing that out there.
