Did your Hematologist take you off the Sandimmune? So many things can cause liver enzymes to be elevated so I if you haven't already, call your hematologist so they can work with you on all of this. I assume your doc was running a chem panel each month so find out what your prior labs were. Were the liver enzymes trending up or was this a sudden spike.

A blocked bile duct can cause both pain and liver enzyme problems. So make sure they checked out your gall bladder and pancreas ( they share the duct going into the digestive track and if they get blocked, cause pain and bile to back up)

Don't panic about the ovarian cyst just yet. Most will resolve within one to three cycles. Did they tell you what type of cyst it is. Every cycle, during ovulation, small cyst can and do occur on the ovary that is getting ready to release an egg. And for some, when the egg breaks free from the ovary, it may bleed a little and can cause anywhere from abdominal discomfort to pain. The abdominal cavity does not tolerate blood well. There are times when the process does not complete and the cyst remains.

So the most important thing is to get with your hematologist to address the drugs and liver enzymes.
