Pretty high: Minocycline is infamous for inflaming the liver in a few percent of folks treated with it. It's great for acne, but this might be a great time to look for some other treatment. I trust antibiotics are not the only treatment you are receiving for acne; without topical benzoyl peroxide, retinoic acid or something similar they will fail. Best wishes and stay proactive.
