Hi there. A week and a half ago I began taking Azathioprine as directed by my GI doctor. Sorry I meant to get back to you earlier! On Thursday (after I had been taking it for a week) I went in for blood tests. My bilirubin levels are higher than usual as are my eosinophil levels. My doctor wants me to wait until my next blood test to check on everything
I am concerned that by this Thursday (the two week mark) these levels will already be higher and I may have issues with liver toxicity. After just one week my bilirubin levels went from a low healthy range to 1.7 mg/dL, which is very high. I am only 19 and am very active and do not use substances, so there is no other reason other than the medication that these levels are high.
Any advice??
