Question about Liver enzymes

[Guest guest]

Good day to all. I've just recently been diagnosed with RA and

fibromyalgia. I have a question, my doctor juast called and wants me

to have an ultrsound on my liver. They stated that my liver enzymes

have tripled since my previous blood work a month and a half ago.

She also said that it's not that unusual with someone with RA. Can

someone explain? My doctor just said to wait until the ultrasound

results are in. My ultrasound is scheduled for Friday (she wanted it

as soon as possible.) Thanks, friends and God Bless.

Sorry to bother you all, but was anyone familiar with this? I'm just

anxious to get some answers. Thank you all. God Bless and have a

wonderful day.

He Dalena. I just had an ultrasound on my liver because my liver

enzymes were elevated.

Mine were only slightly elevated and it was just a precaution. Yours

tripling in just one month is reason for concern. RA isn't the cause

of the enzyme increase, it is the meds that treat it. Methotrexate

commonly causes elevated liver enzymes. Arava is also hard on the

liver.

I hope your ultrasound is ok. sent in several very good articles

that should explain liver enzymes.
