While Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) is generally considered safe, a transient elevation in liver enzymes is a documented, though uncommon, side effect [1.5.4]. Investigating 'Can IVIG cause liver problems?' reveals that while severe injury is rare, certain factors can increase the risk [1.3.1].

While corticosteroids like prednisone are widely used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, they can, in rare cases, affect liver enzymes. The relationship between prednisone and liver function is complex, with the medication sometimes causing elevated enzymes, known as transaminitis, while simultaneously being used to treat certain liver diseases.
