Direct Bilirubin

Anyone have any idea about the 'Direct Bilirubin'? Was told that it has something to do with the liver apart from jaundice..how worrying will it be & how can it be controlled/lowered if it gets high? Very worried now as my baby is scheduled for hospital appointment due to this.. ??

sorry for the late update..😅 baby is strong & healthy now..i was advised to monitor bby urine & poop..fortunately, urine & poops helps with the jaundice issues..doc did a comparison to the blood work, on their certain readings & based on child's urine pattern..at that point, the doc told me that direct bilirubin tends to take time to lower down compares to the indirect bilirubin test..so as the child grows, it will slowly lower down..if it increases then it will be something to be concern of..
