High bilirubin but normal liver function may be caused by physical changes, pancreatitis, neonatal hemolysis, etc., as follows:
1. Physical changes The
fetus is in a hypoxic environment in the mother, and the number of red blood cells destroyed after birth increases, resulting in excessive bilirubin production and bilirubin elevation.
2. Pancreatitis
When pancreatitis occurs, inflammatory factors stimulate bilirubin metabolism and excretion, resulting in increased bilirubin levels.
3. Neonatal hemolysis
When neonatal hemolysis occurs, it will cause a large number of red blood cells to be destroyed, releasing a large amount of bilirubin, resulting in bilirubin elevation.
