Higher bilirubin cause

2023-05-17 09:06:44
I was diagnosed with grade 2 fatty liver. My total bilirubin is 1.29 mg/dl, conjugated bilirubin is 0.35 mg/dl and unconjugated bilirubin is 0.94 mg/dl. I have two questions: 1. Can fatty liver cause higher bilirubin? 2. I have read that there are certain antibiotics like Amoxicillin which might result in higher bilirubin level. I have been prescribed this drug for dental infection a few months back. Can this be a cause? N.B - I am currently under medication for my condition, and have been prescribed Udiliv 300 for 3 months.
