low albumin and remicade

low albumin and remicade

I am 41 years old and have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since the age of 19.  I have never had a problem with low albumin until about 4 months ago.  Which is when i switched from Enbrel to Remicade.  My Dr. says Remicade is not the cause and wants me to keep going with it.  As a matter of fact Remicade as of right now is not working for me so he wants me to increase it.  
I am very nervous to do this and am hoping someone has some input for me.
Any information would be so greatly appreciated!!!

Thank You
Jodilb

Hi and welcome to the forum!  I did a quick search and could not find a link between remicade and low albumin.  I am sorry to read it is not helping you so far.  As your dose is increased keep track of any new or worsening symptoms and make your doctor aware of them.  I do hope it works out for you and that if it doesn't he will switch you to something else.  Let us know how you are doing and perhaps others here who are on remicade can give you some insight.  I have RA but am on MTX and plaquenil.  Best of luck to you!
