inconsistent Hepatitis indicator

I underwent a routine liver test as part of a pre-insurance qualification.
The results were as follows:

SGOT and SGPT both well within normal
However the Bilirubin Total (DMSO) was 2.4 (high) normal : 0-1
and Bilirubin Direct (jendrassic and Groff) was 0.7 (high) normal : 0-0.6

So i did a HBsAg and HCV Total Ab. the test showed non reactive and negative respectively.

Then i checked another test i had done 9 months back, where all of the above were tested, and the results are similar. ie i the Hep B/c test are negative, SGOT/SPGT are normal, but bilirubin is higher.

is this ok, or should i get anything else tested?

High bilirubin, in some cases, results in a yellowish color to the eyes and skin.

have you experienced that?  

Also, what is your risk factor for Hep, if any?
