I have become jaundice recently with bilirubin level of 8.8 and AST/ALT of 1300-1800. I am itchy and nauseous after eating as well as fatigued. I am wondering if this could be due to niacin toxicity. I should mention an ultrasound yesterday was said to be normal as well. I had been taking a vit b complex with 100 mg of niacin as well as an herbal supplement with 25 mg niacin/capsule (4-6 capsules a day for anxiety). Could my issues be related to niacin toxicity? I haven t taken the supplements for 4 days but I am not feeling better. Does it take long for liver to clear?
HelloThanks for asking query on Chat Doctor. After looking at your report, you seem to have acute hepatitis - causes of which are most likely viruses (A to E) or Chat Doctor.  As your ultrasound is normal, obstructive jaundice is ruled out. You should get tested for panel of hepatitis issues and PT/INR. You need to be started on hepatoprotective
