Hello.
There are many causes of hyperbilirubinemia. Results will vary slightly depending on the lab and adult men. In the case of women and young children, the results may be slightly different because results are affected by certain foods or by taking medications or exercising.
Some drugs increase bilirubin levels such as: antibiotics, some birth control drugs, anti-malarial drugs, vitamin C, diuretics,...
So after the index test total bilirubin is 15mg/L, you should go to a reputable medical facility or one of the hospitals under the Vinmec Health System nationwide for a doctor's advice.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions about Vinmec. Best regards!
