Higher bilirubin cause
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.
