What causes high Bilirubin direct and low Mean plasma glucose?

High Bilirubin direct and low Mean plasma glucose can be caused by many reasons.

If your Bilirubin direct is in between 0.1 mg/dL and 0.2 mg/dL and your Mean plasma glucose is in between 70 mg/dL and 116 mg/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Bilirubin direct and Mean plasma glucose respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Bilirubin levels include:

• Gallstones present in the bile ducts
• Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C
• Scarring of the bile ducts
• Lack of oxygen (hypoxia)
• Liver disease
