Methotrexate and liver function?
I was told to stop taking methotrexate after five months because of a "bad" liver function reading. I don't drink alcohol at all. Is it likely that the cessation of methotrexate is a temporary thing or does one poor blood test result result in a permenant avoidance? I think the Meth was beginning to help. Any info is appreciated.
i was on methotrexate for about 6 weeks and when my liver enzymes hit 170 or so, i was taken off it immediately. during that time, i was sooooo tired and fell twice because had trouble lifting my legs. those are the signs of liver trouble. so, we did a sonogram on my liver and check for all hepatitis, and all came back ok. i switched doctors and new doc said to just leave it alone and the liver will heal itself, which it did. numbers got back to normal in less than 3 months. it was the methotrexate. i, too, do not drink, hardly at all.
