Answer

I am not a doctor and am not sure about the liver or kidney, but I personally know that if you habitually take ibuprofen for any reason, you must take it with meals. I suffered severe esophageal, stomach, and small intestine ulcers from taking "ib's" on an empty stomach. Please be careful. It would be a good idea to get regular blood work at your doctor for liver screening.

Answer

it can cause ulcers or GI bleeding, but liver function is not normally something that is impacted by ibuprofen.
