Thoughts on my hepatic function test?

I visited a dermatologist to see about getting onto Accutane , I was on it last year for three months and it did wonders but I do need another dose. While I was on it my ALT and AST shot up and I had to be pulled off of it. Now everything there is fine but my bilirubin is up here are my test results

Tot. bilirubin - 1.4 , normal - 0.0-1.0
bilirubin dir- 0.20, normal - 0.03-0.18
Protein- 6.2, normal 6.4-8.9

Everything else is OK, and right in the middle of normal range. however the page a couple times had the words " please take not of the new reference range effective 1/9/17" I know labs do have different ranges and my Derm. said not to worry about the results he just wants me to be checked out by a specialist to see about the Accutane or stronger antibiotics. But still when your tests read "Abnormal" you still worry.

Other important info: I have been on and off Minocycline 100mg since may of last year

Thanks for your time!
