Bilirubin is one type of bile pigment. Elevated bilirubin levels may be associated with various factors, including chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, fatty liver disease, staying up late, physical exhaustion, alcohol consumption, and others. Therefore, the exact cause cannot be definitively determined without further evaluation. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for more comprehensive testing. In the meantime, you may take compound glycyrrhizin tablets orally as directed. Additionally, pay attention to your diet—avoid high-fat foods—and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Regular physical exercise is also encouraged to improve overall health.
