Will Liv-52 Control Elevated Bilirubin And LFT Levels?

i had elevated bilirubin for more than one and half months.sometimes bilirubin is 1.7, 1.8 ,2.4 etc but my others results in LFT are normal. For quite some time in this period i had also consumed some antibiotics like levoflaxcin etc for some my UTI related problem. Now i'm ok and had stopped these. yesterday i had got LFT and my bilirubin is 1.47 rest all results ok. Now i m taking liv-52 2 tablets thrice in a day. is this will work and i will be fine? should i control my diet also bcz i m very fond of eating and drinking ( drink once in 2 weeks but had stopped in this period )

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
It depends on the cause of elevated LFts. In case of fatty liver, it will help. But in case of cirrhosis hepatitis or biliary issues it wont be helpful.
The next step is to look for certain liver damage and most common casue is fatty liver disease. It should be confirmed by ultrasound. Other causes are viral hepatitis,cirrhosis, medications, alcohol intake or autoimmune diseases. To verify exact cause, US, bilirubin levels and tumor markers should be additionaly done. Then appropriate treatment can be started.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
