can't tell what the normals are for those levels, can you quote the normal range for each of these?

it's reassuring that the direct bilirubin is low, that suggests it's not an obstruction of the gallbladder or common bile duct

Merry Christmas!

this is jaundice from a mostly elevated indirect bilirubin level with much less from direct bilirubin.

it comes from the liver being unable to conjugate, to process the bilirubin to get rid of it.  bilirubin then re-enters the bloodstream.

it can be from hemolytic anemia or congenital reasons, but since your direct is elevated as well, I'd worry about damage to the liver.  this can be from infection, medication, or other toxins.

What do the Chinese doctors tell you?
