Does ET or HU affect liver functions?
The blood tests to check liver functions were normal in August, but in January, they have greatly increased over the normal range. Has anyone else had this happen with ET and Jack2 mutation or with being on HU?
I was diagnosed in July 2024 so have been on HU 500mg plus aspirin daily for 6 months

I was diagnosed 6/2023, with Essential Thrombocytosis, Jak 2. It took about one year for my oncologist to have me take hydroxyurea 4 x a week including baby asprin every other day. I am curious if anyone else has experienced weight gain on this medication? I have and I walk when it is not raining and ride a stationary bike 3 x a week plus stretching exercises. I continue to gain weight even though I do eat healthy and follow the food that are suggested.
Yes, I have had some of the other side effects as well. This forum is helpful to me.
