How does ibuprofen affect liver function and what monitoring is recommended for patients with pre-existing liver conditions or long-term use?
Ibuprofen can cause liver damage, especially with long-term use or in those with pre-existing liver conditions. Liver function tests are recommended to monitor for potential hepatotoxicity.
Ibuprofen, if used excessively or by those with liver disease, might elevate liver enzymes, indicating stress or damage. Periodic liver function testing is advised in such scenarios.
