We can not really diagnose anything as no one here is a doctor.  However, RA is commonly linked to celiac disease.  Once you have one autoimmune disorder, you can develop more over a lifetime.  
 

Note that each lab has different ranges, so the number you posted are meaningless.  If you could post them, perhaps we could help, at least for the celiac tests (TTG and IgA — Immunoglobulin A which in the case of celiac disease is used as a control test).  Know that slightly elevated TTG tests Can be attributed to other autoimmune as can very elevated (above range) IgA.

We've got lots of articles here on the connection between celiac disease and liver disease:

I had elevated liver enzymes for years and that eventually led to Celiac disease testing and diagnosis. As soon as I started making a concerted effort to eat gluten free the enzymes returned to normal. Elevated SGPT can also be connected to heart disease.

The immuno-suppressant meds many people take for RA I believe can also be hard on the liver.

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!
