Can bilirubin be high when you fast too long?

Fasting for too long does not usually lead to high bilirubin. Most causes of high bilirubin are liver disease, gallbladder disease, and other causes. 1. Liver disease: For example, various types of hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, alcoholic liver, fatty liver, etc., may cause liver function to be impaired, resulting in high bilirubin. 2. Biliary tract obstruction: including cholelithiasis, periampullary tumors and other intra- and extra-hepatic biliary tract obstructive diseases, which can also cause high bilirubin. 3. Other causes: such as hemolysis and other causes, can also cause high bilirubin. Fasting for too long does not usually lead to elevated bilirubin, but try not to have a fast for too long to avoid consequences such as hypoglycemia. If you have a high bilirubin, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to clarify the cause of the disease and take appropriate treatment measures as prescribed by the doctor.
