Can fasting raise bilirubin levels?
Results: We found a statistically significant increase in total serum bilirubin levels in fasting males as compared with non-fasting males. The fasting time correlated positively with increased bilirubin levels. The age of the healthy males did not correlate with their fasting bilirubin level.
Can intermittent fasting cause high bilirubin?
The fasting time correlated positively with increased bilirubin levels. The age of the healthy males did not correlate with their fasting bilirubin level. We found no correlation between fasting and bilirubin levels in clinically normal females.
