Ask for your lab work or the exact levels. I got mine on my own from the nurse because they were taking so long. I only waited a week to get the blood work re-done because I was so nervous. I took...
My ALT and AST were up. My AST was around 219 and my ALT was 110. I think the regular AST is 10-40 and regular ALT is 10-60. I just got my blood taken again yesterday and my AST was down to 50 and my...

Thanks Mike! I am not sure if mine are lipase and amylase because the nurse only said I had two elevated liver enzymes that would need further testing. Hopefully my case will turn out to be like...
Thanks everyone. I am a little less worried now. I have read that it can mean many different things (alot of them serious) and was hoping it was just something that related to UC or Imuran in my case....

My nurse called me and told me I had two elevated liver enzymes and that this would require attention and that I need an appointement in two weeks. I was recently in a clinical trial for golimumab....

but i did not mean to offend anyone, so sorry if i did that....
i wasn't exactly advocating it, i was just showing a published article. so i dont know why that would be forbidden especially if they end up using it medicinally. i'd think it would be safer than...
