High liver results

Hi
I wonder if you can tell me the names of the tests they do to make sure your liver is ok with the meds they give you.
I went to the hospital today to see the Rheummy. They told me that my liver tests were still very high. The doctor did mention the name but I cannot remember.
I was told today that generally people's results are 50.
They have done mine twice and I had to have it done again and wait for the result. Well it came back the same as the last 2 tests had shown that my is 1,050.
I wanted to read up on this but cannot remember the name they called it.
It is getting me down as I cannot have my meds increased, also they generally give me a Medrone injectiont to help me until I can get on a higher dose of the meds but today they said they better not give me one because of the result I have.
I wanted to try and read about it to try and understand about it.
While I'm like this the RA OA is getting worse. I feel really down now, nothing is going right at all at the moment.
Thank You Trisher

Dear Trisher,
Sorry to hear that this is going on. Really you may find a longer conversation with the rheumatology nurse or your GP a wise move. There are issues here that you'll want more individual information about I'd imagine. Our information manager suggested this link for you: http://www.labtestsonline.org.uk/understanding/analytes/liver_panel/glance.html
and http://www.labtestsonline.org.uk/understanding/conditions/arthritis.html
We don't recommend just internet searching... as you are likely to need to wade through the rubbish sites too.
all the best
