Anyone taking biologics--effects on liver tests?

Anyone taking biologics like enbrel, humira, remicade or other drugs like orencia to treat another autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis or crohne's? If so, did your liver enzymes go down as well? Just wondering this anecdotally since these are becoming standard treatment for many AI diseases, but not trialed on PBC patients. My daughter takes Enbrel for her juvenile arthritis. Every time I give her a shot I wonder if the drug could help with PBC too. So I just got curious to ask if anyone has experience with any of these.
