elevated bilirubin

Hello, I am a 38 year old white female, recently had an exam for life insurance.  the results can back with a bilirubin level of 1.9 (flagged as high), i have had some internal tenderness during sexual intercourse and my urine does have a strange odor to it.  Any ideas?  i will be calling my general practitioner for an appt but any ideas as to what could all be going on in the meantime?
Thanks!

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

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?
