Question
The physical examination results show that your daughter’s direct bilirubin level is 12. Does this mean it’s high, and the parents have been worried about this for some time now, hoping to get the doctor’s advice.
Answer
Firstly, it is necessary to know your daughter’s age. An elevated direct bilirubin level is often associated with decreased liver processing function, so it is reasonable for the doctor to suggest a follow-up examination. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination on the date specified by the doctor. The normal range for direct bilirubin is 0 to 3.42. Since your daughter’s test results are high, a follow-up examination is needed. Have you noticed any discomfort in your daughter recently? It is suggested to seek timely treatment and observation.
