Injections, Blood Tests and all the rest of it.

I have Psoriasis on my feet and hands, my GP has now said I'll need injections, but he said that I'll need injections, but I will need blood tests so they can look at my liver and kidneys, I'm a bit confused as to why they need to look at them, could this be to check which medicine would be best for me? As far as I know my liver and kidneys are fine, well I hope they are.

A P sufferer for over 30 years, through good and bad times.
Many of the meds prescribed for P or PsA have side effects and regular blood checks are required. Sometimes bloods and xrays are needed before you can start a form of treatment.
You may think your liver and kidney are fine but the docs have to have a starting point before commencing treatment and check regularly.
