Alt liver test

[Researchmad]

Alt levels are stable what does this mean?

Your liver is fine ... In what context? Are you on methotrexate, tocilizumab - another DMARD? Was it raised at diagnosis - it is often raised in PMR.

Recent scan identified fatty liver and then a blood test following the scan a month later said stable. No medication.

So they mean the liver hasn't started to deteriorate.

That sounds like good news.

Don't know if it will help much...but when I had pancreatitis, they checked everything and noted my liver had 'some fatty areas'.....I'm not surprised when I think about what has passed my lips in the past 82 years...I would sometimes get a banana split and fried onion rings!!! But, it gives me no problems. (and I enjoyed every bite)

My rheumatologist checks my liver enzymes periodically since I am on Actemra.💞
