Physiological Reference Ranges

The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

2 – 9 mg/L

Adult females

2 – 9 mg/L

Adult males

mg/dL(×10 mg/L)

What does a low result mean?

A low level is typical and reflects efficient hepatic uptake and clearance.

What does a high result mean?

An isolated elevation is the classic, benign hallmark of Gilbert's syndrome, a common harmless variation.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does an isolated rise point directly toward benign Gilbert's variation?
  • Could recent fasting, stress, or mild sleep loss have accentuated this reading?
  • Can I be fully reassured of its benign nature?
