Elevated liver enzymes 17 months post liver transplant

Hi katebw. I have had 2 biopsies (Dec and January) and an ultrasound (a week ago) since last April's whole liver transplant due to alarming spikes in my liver enzymes. I can relate to not only the fear that your bidy is rejecting the liver and also the uncertainty when there is no known cause. When you know you are folliwing post care instructions to the letter you know there is nothing you can change to make it better until the cause of the spikes are discovered.
I still have weekly blood draws even though I am just 2 weeks out from my transplant's first anniversary. I am reassured by Mayo's vigilance to catch any ptoblems asap. At times I feel tethered due to the immediate calls to come to Mayo for testing so travel plans are put on the back shelf.
So as we all do I am living each day as best I can with appreciation, joy and gratitude and in my case occasional moments of fearful concern as I await test results.
You are not alone. Barbara
