Fatty liver may lead to elevated transaminase and bilirubin levels. Fatty liver is primarily a condition caused by excessive fat accumulation in the liver, which impairs liver function. When liver function becomes abnormal, it may result in increased transaminase levels and can also impair the normal metabolism of bilirubin in the body, leading to elevated bilirubin levels.
