Elevated enzymes: post liver transplat

Elevated enzymes: post liver transplat

About two years back my mother had live donor liver transplant in India. For last five months it has been happening that all her liver enzymes are going very high level. Then, her doctor increased wysolone (a steroid?) dosage and that brings the enzyme level back or almost to normal level. The doctor then prescribes lower dosage (of wysolone) and after that her liver enzymes go up again. This - increase then decrease and then increase again of enzymes - has happened three or four times since December 2010. Is it a very bad sign for her health?

it sounds like there could be a rejection that the steroids are treating.  i presume that she is taking other immunosuppressive medications, such as tacrolimus.  ongoing rejection can definitely cause a long-term problem.
