I think a liver panel and a hepatitis test would be appropriate. That is usually standard procedure with an elevation of bilirubin. The bilirubin could also explain your urine. By the way, is the color normal?

yup - color is normal.

Well, that's a good sign - in my opinion. Dark colored urine is sometimes associated with liver issues.
