I have elevated direct bilirubin but my doctor told me it is Gilbert. I am 16. My eyes are a little bit yellow. Could it be cancer?like pancreatic.

    Gilbert's would cause an increase in unconjugated/indirect bilirubin and not direct. I had a gene test confirm Gilbert's as my levels were elevated and I too went through a period of jaundice.
