Hi Nicole... lots on your platter right now! good luck!!

Absolutely hormones can be detected in your labs/blood.

As well hormones can create fluid retention and as you probably know lots of other annoying nuisances... are you peri-menopausal?  
-- there are a lot of reasons for hormones to muck about and your labs should detect the values of the main ones ... prolactin is one that plays a role with lupus flares... almost always up during a flare in most patients.
The liver futzing up in a lupus patient is not as unusual as people think...
In fact here is a good read about what all 'can'  happen:
http://www.hamline.edu/~lupus/articles/Lupus_and_the_liver.html

    Here is a sectional quote from the LFA SITE:
"Abnormal liver function tests can be found in 30-60% of patients with lupus.
Nearly all NSAIDs can elevate blood enzymes, active lupus can also elevate the enzymes.
If the NSAIDs are stopped for a couple of weeks & the enzymes are still elevated, the cause could be active lupus, infection, hepatitis or biliary disease."
btw i too take 40 mg daily of lasix for fluid retention... it will grab hold eventually and 'drain you' <g>.... seemed to take a bit of time for me as well as doubling the dosage
.... and I had 12 pounds min. of h20 sitting in my feet/ankles/calves
.... a lot of extra weight to tote around lol and that was not including the fluid in my abdomen;
I have to wonder if the fluids retained in the organ/liver tissues may be causing some of the function tests to come back abnormally?
Do you have any bloated feeling at all or did you doc mention if he/she thought you were carrying fluid 'everywhere' (besides the obvious places that gravity tends to aggravate? legs!!)

I also read this:
 'WHAT ABNORMAL FUNCTION RESULTS MEAN:
If the test is positive for anti-nuclear, anti-smooth muscle, or anti-liver kidney microsomal antibodies, autoimmune hepatitis or other liver disease, involving the immune system may be the cause of liver problems.'

I had abnormal liver function results when I had mono... any chance of that with you right now? my menses messed up during that spell as well..... my late 20's pre lupus dx.. a passing thought is all ?

Here is a rundown of the  liver labs and the normal values:

Just my 2 cents FWIW and HTH you out somewhat!

Thyroid profile for sure.  Plus are you on statins? Or for that matter are
you on any herbal stuff.

Tylenol isn't the only thing that raises liver enzymes.
Hormone levels can indeed be determined through blood tests.  Ask for
estrogen levels, testosterone too.  Yes it is male but woman carry it and
lupus patients especially are low in testosterone......so.......

Not familiar with Avinza so look to find if that has to do with side effects
with liver .

good luck nicole
