Your Dr's call: Methotrexate can raise SGOT as it's rough on the liver --. Whoever is prescribing it knows how to weigh the benefits in treating psoriasis against the risks of actual damage to the liver. I trust your transaminases were normal before you started on this powerful medicine.

Reduce the dose: I assume the medication you are taking is methotrexate. Elevation of trasaminase levels such as the SGOT should be treated by reducing the medication dose and then rechecking the lab value.
