Tag: Elevated bilirubin

According to research, supplement-induced liver injury now accounts for 20% of hepatotoxicity cases in the U.S., showing that yes, supplements can affect bilirubin levels. The liver is central to processing supplements, and this interaction can lead to elevated or, in some cases, slightly reduced bilirubin levels depending on the substance and individual health.

Severe malnourishment, particularly in conditions like anorexia nervosa, can lead to elevated liver enzymes and impaired liver function. This critical connection reveals that, yes, malnutrition can cause elevated bilirubin, a telltale sign of liver stress or dysfunction. Proper nutrition is often the key to reversing this effect.
