Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Elevated indirect bilirubin with left kidney stones may be caused by impaired synthetic metabolic function, iron deficiency anemia, or hemolytic anemia. Additionally, biliary tract diseases such as bile duct obstruction can also trigger elevated indirect bilirubin and left kidney stones. When elevated indirect bilirubin accompanied by left kidney stones occurs, it is recommended to seek medical treatment at a hospital as early as possible.
