can chemo affect liver function
Other tests of liver function include: Bilirubin level - indicates bile production and metabolism. Normal bilirubin levels are 0.2 to 1.2 mg/dL of blood. If chemotherapy has caused liver damage or dysfunction, you may notice a yellowing of the skin, called jaundice or icterus, when the bilirubin level reaches 3.0 mg/dL. Bleeding times - such as Prothombin time (PT) - may be prolonged if there is liver damage.
