I can't remember who asked (and I can't find it either) but here is the info on elevated liver emzymes and neupogen (neulasta). I call it "tele-chemo brain".

"Reversible elevations in LDH, alkaline phosphatase, and uric acid, which did not require treatment intervention, were observed. The incidences of these changes, presented for Neulasta® relative to Filgrastim, were: LDH (20% vs 29%), alkaline phosphatase (10% vs 16%), and uric acid (7% vs 9% [1% of reported cases for both treatment groups were classified as severe])."
