Introduction
In general, whether Bilicynol tablets cause kidney damage depends on the usage and individual differences. If patients take the medication as directed by a physician, Bilicynol tablets usually do not cause significant harm to the kidneys. However, if patients already have renal insufficiency, nephritis, or other kidney diseases, or if they use Bilicynol tablets long-term at high doses, it may increase the kidney's workload and lead to abnormal kidney function.
Generally, whether bilicynol tablets cause kidney damage depends on the usage and individual differences. If patients take bilicynol tablets as directed by a physician, the drug usually does not cause significant harm to the kidneys. However, if patients already have underlying conditions such as renal insufficiency or nephritis, or use bilicynol tablets in high doses over a long period, it may increase the burden on the kidneys and lead to abnormal kidney function. A detailed analysis is as follows:
Bilicynol tablets are an anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting medication that helps repair damaged liver cells, enhance liver function, reduce inflammation, and exert antiviral effects. They are used to treat elevated aminotransferase levels caused by chronic hepatitis. Since the drug primarily acts on the liver and does not directly affect the kidneys, in patients with normal liver function—whose kidneys have a strong capacity to process medications—the risk of kidney damage from proper use of bilicynol tablets is low.
However, in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions such as renal insufficiency or nephritis, or those who use bilicynol tablets at high doses for prolonged periods, the drug may increase the workload on the kidneys and potentially lead to kidney dysfunction. Additionally, if patients are taking other medications that may affect the kidneys, the risk of kidney damage could be further increased. Therefore, under these circumstances, bilicynol tablets might cause some degree of kidney injury.
It is recommended to use bilicynol tablets strictly as prescribed by a doctor. During treatment, avoid consuming high-fat, high-cholesterol, and pickled foods to support overall health recovery.
