Joy, my bilirubin total and sometimes my bilirubin direct, had fluctuations for about a yr after my chemo. It would go just a bit above the range of normal. For example if the range was 0-0.9, mine would be 1.3. I would look at the bottoms of my hands and feet and would swear it looked a bit too yellow. Maybe it was in my head and normal since I am Asian. My oncologist was not a bit alarmed and sure enough, I finally got within the normal range after a while.
I don't know if this info helped, but take it for what its worth.
