Liver disease[edit]
Autoimmune liver disease[edit]
Autoimmune liver diseases, such as primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis, were found to be modulated by active helminth infections in a case-controlled study involving 4,117 patients admitted to hospitals in Okinawa, Japan, between 1988 and 2006.
The authors hypothesized that immunomodulation by helminths may lower the incidence of autoimmune liver disease.

Liver enzymes[edit]
NA can lower high liver enzymes[edit]

It’s also possible for NA to raise liver enzymes[edit]
Raised liver enzymes are most likely to be seen in the early stages of helminth colonisation.

Liver enzymes can test high for a variety of reasons[edit]
Liver enzymes can be raised by infections such as Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and by other viruses, [3] and can also become elevated as a result of taking an immunosuppressant or certain supplements, or working out.
