After being on Gleevec for one year, my liver enzymes became elevated in 2004. They shot up to 263, and I had to stop Gleevec for a few months. Slowly my enzyme numbers decreased and Gleevec was reintroduced. During this time I started researching liver function and came across "milk thistle" and its benefits. I have been taking it for two years, and my liver enzymes are within normal range, and I have been on 800 mg of Gleevec for two years. I am also PCRU.
There is also another person on the Asian CML site that had an elevated liver count of 1,000. She was treated with prednisone. Her liver funcion is now normal. I hope that this helps.
