OK..... My thyroid Dr. is upset that my liver levels are high. The RD . doesn't seemed worried about it. So much so he didn't even check them. The Thyroid Dr. said they are twice as high is normal. I have off of the MTX. for about Weeks. These are the the Stats what do you think?
Alt 101 ast 80 Is it normal for my RD to shrug this off. It's as though he is upset that he told me the result's..... I am clue less as what to think... My liver has been off since November chemo. A GI guy is the one to answer, RDs don't always know what to think. It may be taking longer to clear out not necessarily something wrong. which dr took you off the mtx? I think the questio nyou should ask your rheumatologist is why he isn't overly concerned about your liver function numbers..but if you are on MTX and your rhuematologist is not rehularly checking your liver functions I would be in the market for a new one. Sorry.. I left out 8 week's. I have been considering going to another RD. I have been with him for over 10 yr's or so. You know first name bases. It's like one minute I feel as though I am a priority the next, I know change is good I just don't do it well . It took me a long time to find a Doc. who didn't seem to make me feel that the FM is just a throw away disease. There is another RD in town I haven't heard anything good about him . My only option is to go to Indy....... I just don't know? To be honest those levels are a bit elevated but not necessarily anything to get tense about. It's not uncommon to take a "watch and wait" attitude with mildly elevated enzyme levels, as long as there are no other liver problems such as viral hepatitis or chronic alcohol abuse. I would talk to your rheumatologist about your concerns.
