Why would my bilirubin levels decrease after taking Udiliv 300mg but then rise again after stopping the medication, even though my hepatitis tests, other liver enzymes, and protein levels are completely normal?
Udiliv (ursodeoxycholic acid) works by improving bile flow and helping your liver clear bilirubin. When you stop taking it, this temporary assistance ends, and your bilirubin levels can naturally rise back to their baseline. This pattern is quite common in benign conditions like Gilbert?s syndrome?a harmless, genetic trait where the liver processes bilirubin a bit slowly?or mild, temporary bile sluggishness. Please don't worry, as your liver is otherwise healthy. I recommend discussing these results with your doctor to see if simply monitoring your levels is the best next step.
