A high bilirubin level is typically considered to be above 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) in adults. Levels greater than 2.5 to 3.0 mg/dL are often classified as significantly elevated and may indicate underlying health issues, such as liver disease or hemolysis. For newborns, the threshold for high bilirubin can vary, with levels above 5 mg/dL often warranting medical attention. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and interpretation of bilirubin levels.
