alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Mine have been high the past year. Levels have been between 45-90 over about 9 blood tests and last one was 50. So nothing too extreme but it's still high.. What can I do for this? I'm on humira, salofalk and somac. everything else on my blood test is normal.

I think the elevated liver enzymes are a side effect of the salofalk. I had to look that up because it goes by the name mesalamine here. I had to take a drug that caused something similar. My doctor was watching it, and I came off that drug eventually.
I'd just make sure the doctor is paying attention. I wouldn't self-medicate. This is your liver we're talking about, so ask before you take anything else.
