Hpylori positive and liver
Hi Dr.,
I had gall bladder removal surgery last year sept. After surgery, little sludge was there in bile duct because of which I got jaundice , mrcp was done and dr told the stone got out itself and liver enzymes and bilirubin came back to normal by december.
Last week was feeling acidity a lot, did lft test again and all liver enzymes normal except direct bilirubin 0.45, indirect bilirubin 0.91 and total 1.36. Went to gastroenterologist, he did endoscopy to rule out acidity and found stomach ulcer and hpylori positive. So he prescribed esomac hp kit 1 mg for 14 days. Could you please confirm if taking this strong antibiotic for 14 days will not affect liver enzymes?
Latest lft report is attached.

Based on your history, your liver enzymes being normal is reassuring. A mild isolated bilirubin elevation is not usually a contraindication to treatment. The prescribed 14-day course is generally safe, and significant liver-related side effects are uncommon. Complete the treatment as advised, and consult your doctor if you develop jaundice, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, or persistent vomiting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
