See below: NSAIDS, including ibuprofen, can affect the liver. So can antibiotics. The effect can range from mild inflammation to occasionally more serious changes. Often times the elevated liver blood tests will slowly return to normal. Some patients will have abnormal liver tests due to obesity and fatty liver disease, and not the result of medication. Be sure to check for Hepatitis C which is a cause.
