Hi Everyone,
You can kind of see my history below. Peri-anal abscess in 10/2013, drained, seton 11/2013, dx 12/2013 with PA Crohn's. Colonoscopy showed mostly PA disease, but some inflammation at the terminal ileum. Started Humira 2/2014 and did okay, but fistula never closed. Abscessed again in 4/2015, surgery with placement of another seton 4/22/2015. Off of the Humira and starting Entyvio today, actually. Doctor also wants me on 6MP, which leads to my question in the Title.
My bloodwork has always been pretty much normal. On 5/9, my ALT was slightly elevated from normal (i.e. 12-78) at 88. My MCH was slightly elevated from normal (i.e. 27-33) at 33.6.
Well, I did not feel well with increasing right lower quadrant pain, fatigue, and lightheadedness. I went to the ER on Monday and my blood work shows heightened ALT at 127, substantially higher, and now AST at 58 (normal is 15-37). In addition, my MCH was then 34.1 and my MCV is now 99 (normal listed as 80.2-99.4). In addition, they did a CT which showed, I believe, corrosive damage to the hip joints related to CD.
I'm sorry for the legnth of this message, but I'm just wondering if this bloodwork is something to be very worried about. I'm very concerned about the liver enzymes. I do not drink a lot, but may have a couple drinks on the weekend. I certainly don't see that as the cause. Is this something that can be related to CD?
