Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 68210739 Romania 06/23/2015 04:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THE EFFECT OF COFFEE CONSUMPTION ON LIVER ENZYMES AND BILIRUBIN IN HEALTHY SUBJECTS Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68210739 There is much evidence that caffeine is one of the safest of drugs and reports that it increased the risk of developing coronary heart disease and cancer of the pancreas are not confirmed. Roasted coffee beans and instant coffee powder contain 10 to 40mg nicotinic acid/100g; the darker the roast the more nicotinic acid. Random blood samples (prior to and after coffee consumption for 2 months) were collected from 58 healthy subjects and the serum liver enzymes and Bilirubin (Total and conjugated) values estimated. The initial mean serum values are thus: Total bilirubin : 0. 54 + 0.17 mg/dl and conjugated bilirubin: 0.28 + 0.08 mg/dl, while the final values are as follows: Total bilirubin : 0.07+ 0.05 mgldl and conjugated bilirubin: 0.07 + 0.05 mg/dl. [link to www.jcrs010.com] As seen above, after 2 months on coffee, Total bilirubin = conjugated bilirubin, so there's no more unconjugated bilirubin, which initially was half of the total bilirubin. So coffee also helps conjugating all the bilirubin! [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

Nobody will say that, though. You might have Gilbert's syndrome. Gilbert's syndrome, often shortened to GS, also called Gilbert–Meulengracht syndrome, is a genetic liver disorder and the most common hereditary cause of increased bilirubin and is found in up to 3-12% of the population (it is closer to 10% in Caucasian people). A major characteristic is jaundice, caused by elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin in the bloodstream (hyperbilirubinemia). The cause of this hyperbilirubinemia is the reduced activity of the enzyme glucuronyltransferase, which conjugates bilirubin and a few other lipophilic molecules. Conjugation renders the bilirubin water-soluble, after which it is excreted in bile into the duodenum. Gilbert's syndrome produces an elevated level of unconjugated bilirubin in the bloodstream, but normally has no serious consequences. Mild jaundice may appear under conditions of exertion, stress, fasting, and infections, but the condition is otherwise usually asymptomatic. The following symptoms have been reported in a subset of those affected: feeling tired all the time (fatigue), difficulty maintaining concentration, unusual patterns of anxiety, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of weight, itching (with no rash). Levels of bilirubin in GS patients are reported to be from 20 μM to 90 μM (1.2 to 5.3 mg/dl) compared to the normal amount of < 20 μM. The level of total bilirubin is often further increased if the blood sample is taken after fasting for two days, and a fast can, therefore, be useful diagnostically.

But no symptoms you mentioned other than exhaustion. That was not my case, but indeed, there's a strong correlation between Gilbert's syndrome and hypothyroidism. Here's another testimonial. One of the main problems Gilberts sufferers seem to have is that doctors don't believe it causes any problems. I discovered I had Gilberts over 18 months ago, and I am still suffering badly - but not with Gilberts, rather chronic fatigue, or rather hypothyroidism and hypoadrenalism. In standard blood tests, Gilberts shows up, and is often casually dismissed by the doctor as a benign condition. Yet many of us suffer and cannot understand why Gilberts is ignored by the medical profession. I personally am devastated by this - I am a 39 year old female, struggling to bring up 3 small children with severe chronic fatigue, and have been dismissed as just having Gilberts. Many Gilberts people suffer hypothyroidism, ie, the rate of T4 to T3 conversion is slow, and so we are cold and fatigued, have anxiety, possible hypoadrenalism (don't produce enough cortisol) and hypoglycaemia.

Mild jaundice may appear under conditions of exertion, stress, fasting, and infections, but the condition is otherwise usually asymptomatic. The following symptoms have been reported in a subset of those affected: feeling tired all the time (fatigue), difficulty maintaining concentration, unusual patterns of anxiety, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of weight, itching (with no rash). Levels of bilirubin in GS patients are reported to be from 20 μM to 90 μM (1.2 to 5.3 mg/dl) compared to the normal amount of < 20 μM. The level of total bilirubin is often further increased if the blood sample is taken after fasting for two days, and a fast can, therefore, be useful diagnostically.

I have been diagnosed many times with chronic fatigue syndrome All my liver function test have shown elevated bilirubin and it has been confirmed I have Gilbert's. My main symptoms (amongst a whole host) are exhaustion, gastrointestinal trouble (bloating and very slow digestion), temperature dysregulation, and neurological symptoms like brain fog, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate and disturbed mood. [link to patient.info] Sounds also like a thyroid problem or iodine deficiancy. Especially the slow digestion, brain fog and temperature dysregulation. Are you sure that the root cause of your problem is not a malfunctioning thyroid? When I had full blown hepatitis, I was extremely tired, and had no appetite and lots of skin rashes. But no symptoms you mentioned other than exhaustion. That was not my case, but indeed, there's a strong correlation between Gilbert's syndrome and hypothyroidism. Here's another testimonial. One of the main problems Gilberts sufferers seem to have is that doctors don't believe it causes any problems. I discovered I had Gilberts over 18 months ago, and I am still suffering badly - but not with Gilberts, rather chronic fatigue, or rather hypothyroidism and hypoadrenalism. In standard blood tests, Gilberts shows up, and is often casually dismissed by the doctor as a benign condition. Yet many of us suffer and cannot understand why Gilberts is ignored by the medical profession. I personally am devastated by this - I am a 39 year old female, struggling to bring up 3 small children with severe chronic fatigue, and have been dismissed as just having Gilberts. Many Gilberts people suffer hypothyroidism, ie, the rate of T4 to T3 conversion is slow, and so we are cold and fatigued, have anxiety, possible hypoadrenalism (don't produce enough cortisol) and hypoglycaemia. Sound familiar to anyone? [link to www.gilbertssyndrome.com] Ah shit sorry to hear that, wish I could give you some tips but Ive never dug into Gilbert syndrome before. I do know thyroid disorders can also colour your skin yellowish, but not your eyes like jaundice. Iodine plus magnesium b vitamins copper and zinc and selenium can work very well for correcting the thyroid component. Diet goes a long way as well, gluten are detrimental to the liver. I hope youre able to solve this puzzle. |
