Hi all, hope someone can help me. Im on mtx 25 mg hydroxy and leflu. Had my routine bloods done a couple of weeks ago and a gp told me my liver test result was slightly raised but ok. Had another test yesterday as have got a consultant appointment next week and the receptionist at the gp surgery told me the asr result was showing as 114. Does anyone know if this is high and if so what usually happens? Ive also been having a couple of weird nose bleeds (so sorry if you're eating!) its not a gush, just when I blow my nose, its all bloody (so sorry!!)

Would be grateful for any ideas/suggestions!!

love

Heather xxxx

i think urget get back to R.A nurse and check it out you might have to come off mtx till it settles .

i don,t understand it .But i have a high liver at moment mine something was 70 but it depended on 2 readings one was very high one coming up .
now have my MTX reduced cos of the liver not behaving .

but double check with some who knows about mtx as my doc said one thing ra nurse the other .

Hello Heather,

I also think may be a good idea to leave a message with your RA nurse
to explain it all. I am not sure so will not assume anything.

Let us know how you get on
