Elevated bilirubin relates (generally) to blockage in the biliary ducts/gallbladder.  Has your Dr. ordered an MRI ??? Ultrasounf *usually* detects blockage and constriction - but not always...

Sounds like a viral form of hepatitis has been ruled out, but there are other forms - I would at least read about hemachromatosis and see. The ferritin level test *may* give clues. Serum Iron with TIBC (Total Bind Capacity) helps them to make such a diagnosis.

Keep us posted
