The latest is they bumped my Prednisone up to 120mg/day. I have been on that higher dosage for about a week and my ALT (>1300) and AST (>245) liver enzymes are still high but Billirubin is very low (.5). I have not had any side effects to Prednisone other than a very slight dry mouth.

Doctor is now putting me on 2000mg/day Mycophenolate (CellCept) in addition to Prednisone.

Has anybody gone through that similar combination?

As I mentioned earlier, other than these liver test I feel great. The high liver counts don't seem to be bothering me
