Hyperthyroidism may cause impaired liver function and thus elevated total bilirubin in the course of drug treatment. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease caused by excessive thyroid hormone hypermetabolism, hyperthyroidism patients need to take methimazole, propylthiouracil and other drugs to treat, in the process of using antithyroid drugs may cause liver function damage, resulting in total bilirubin elevation. Therefore, patients with hyperthyroidism need to take regular liver function tests during the treatment period, and once abnormalities in liver function appear, they need to reduce or stop the medication under the guidance of the doctor. In addition, elevated total bilirubin can be seen in hepatitis, cirrhosis and other diseases. Hyperthyroidism patients with elevated total bilirubin are advised to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to make a judgment.
