I have 6 weekly blood tests (methotexate psoriatic arthritis) which often show elevated inflammation. will this effect my organs?

Possibly: Methotrexate is a powerful medicine that must be used carefully. It can lead to a form of cirrhosis of the liver. Usually a liver biopsy is obtained every 2 years or so to look for evidence of side effects of the medicine.
