The LFT monitoring regime does eventually drop in frequency when on methotrexate once everything's settled. I'd question the reasoning behind weekly LFT's.
And to be honest, we're measuring LFT's more often, for various other reason's, (eg starting a statin.) As a clinician, I'm sometimes a little unsure as to what to do with the results if they come back outside the parameter's of what's deemed "normal."
I'm not exactly sure of the link between enjoying a drink, and deranged LFT's, (unless the liver damage has passed the brink.)
Doctors (and nurses) love performing these bloomin' tests, often without thinkong through the consequences
