I am a 29 year old male, my height is 172 cm and my weight is around 63-65 kg. I had a routine blood checkup last day and figured out that my bilirubin level is 2.9 mg/dl and bilirubin direct is 1.1 mg/ dl rest of all the lft & rft tests are in the normal range. The variation is seen only in the bilirubin level. Nb- I workout daily and and my water intake is comparatively low as I get dehydrated often. Request to please help me to understand this situation and please let me know if I consume more water and reduce strenuous exercise will this be cure.

Workouts and water intake have no relation with bilirubin values. Your history is inadequate, it will be helpful if you through some light on, 1.whether this is the first time you detected these values or not. 2.whether you consume alcohol or not. 3.whether your family mem have same symptoms or not.

Bilirubin is the waste product of hemoglobin (a component of your blood cells) increase in bilirubin could be because of breakdown of blood cells or breakdown of muscles (myoglobin) or any other heme containing proteins in the body. It could also be elevated in liver disease. Since your history is indicating muscle breakdown due to heavy exercise it could be likely due to that. For ruling out other causes I would like to see your reports and obtain a history to differentiate it from other conditions.
