Question, how is everyone's bloodwork that is on any biologics? I had some done and my gobulin levels are elevated and my ABS lymphocytes and Abs Monocytes are also elevated. Just wondering if any one else is experiencing elevated blood work or even lower levels due to biologics?

My blood work is normal on remicade.

The elevated lymphocytes and monocytes could be from active inflammation lingering, or from an infection. Do you have any flare symptoms?

I was on Humira for 4 years and my liver enzymes were always high.

On Humira. Had 2 blood draws in as many months. Ordered by a GI. All normal. Not sure he ran the right tests. I just moved to Miami UC research center this week. (More confidence in this guy). Drew some today so I’ll know what he’s looking at in a day or so.

(5 vials worth)

I was in a little mini flare not to long ago. And i have a little sinus infection

jano ... once the sinus infection resolves and you aren't flaring those levels should go back to normal

My bloodwork is normal on Xeljanz. My GI requests me to do bloodwork about every 4 months on this medicine.

My doctor is recommending a consultation to go over my blood work with a hematologist. I really don't think it's necessary but I'm going to go for my doctor's advice. Kind of scares me though
