Rentzi,
I did not experience elevated liver enzymes when first diagnosed, but they skyrocketed after my ATG treatment. I think its a pretty common side effect of the drug. I was also on a heavy-duty anti-fungal med (voriconazole) for a while and it can also be hepatotoxic. Fortunately, once I got off the anti-fungal, the liver enzymes returned to normal fairly quickly.
Here are some links to a few articles about AA and thymoma. I guess I exaggerated a bit about having a "ton" of articles.

triumph64 -- Isn't House the most ridiculous show ever? The writers must scour the internet for extremely rare diseases to feature every week. And I love how the doctors are always searching patients' homes to look for clues to their disease. Most of us can barely get the docs to spend more than 15 minutes with us during an office visit let alone have them breaking into our houses!
Speaking of extremely rare, I failed to mention that in addition to my rare bone marrow disorder (aplastic anemia) and rare thymoma, I was also diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism late last year. This condition which results in high serum calcium levels, is most often caused by a benign tumor on one or more of the parathyroid glands. A very good friend of mine (I call her my Chief Medical Information Officer) found some articles linking, in very rare cases, parathyroid tumors with thymomas. So that's "very rare" cubed for those of you keeping score.
