Hi Sherry,
I thought I'd share my ATG liver numbers for comparison. They jumped pretty high on day 4 of the ATG.
-------AST...Bili...ALT
ATG1
ATG2...26...1.4...31
ATG3...20...1.2...26
ATG4...95...1.5...101
day5...58...1.4...118 (no ATG, just prednisone)
day6...60...1.6...128 (no ATG, just prednisone)
...
It took another 8 days for my ALT to return to normal and a lot longer for my bilirubin.
Also, prednisone shouldn't be stopped cold turkey. You must do a taper! It would be better to stay on it then to start and stop.
