Thanks, slkanowitz!
I really appreciate your comment!
Yes, this is the issue. Is it the disease or the Imuran.
My enzymes were rapidly trending downwards after three weeks on prednisone alone, but with the addition of 50 mg of Imuran for 5 weeks, they rose. I think I'll know at my follow-up appointment at the end of March whether my liver doesn't like the Imuran, given that they doubled the dose. This, I would think establishes a pretty clear link between Imuran and spiking enzymes. My doctor never mentioned a possible link, and I totally forgot to ask.
I'm hoping it was just a transient spike.
