Alcohol usually causes isolated GGT elevation. It’s not that it can’t cause other enzymes to go up but more commonly it’s the GGT which is out of range. If you look at HCV when you remove the liver damaging insult the ALT is the first to fall (it only hangs round for a short time) – the AST and GGT follow it down, but are slower. The LDH and ALP are slowest.
Appreciate your knowledge Doc!! Super!!

In keeping with FHC’s “no censorship” policy, this topic is being moved out of the party thread to an educational venue for those who, for whatever reason, wish to know more about the “Bad Old Days”.
mCool! Much appreciated!! Yeah I only lasted 5 weeks on that nasty ass tx, I felt like a wuss for having to stop but I was glad I did, Riba on top of the Interferon was driving me bonkers!!!

So the concern is about drop shippers right?? I mean anyone could say they’re a company representative online and the public wouldn’t have any way to vet them. Not a good situation at all, someone could get screwed…

12 Month Labs= UNDYep, something isn’t right. I don’t know what it could be but it could be related to drinking alcohol, maybe. I suggest you stop drinking at least a week before you take your next blood test and definitely talk to your doctor about your levels being high as I am definitely not a doctor and not even a nurse. lol Your GGT is high as well but I don’t know anything about that. Here’s a pic and on the far right are the normal ranges, this is one of my blood tests from years ago. Hope the pic works, if it don’t work I’ll just put something else up. good luck!!

12 Month Labs= UNDSurprisingly most of you gained a few pounds, not a problem I can do that. My wife is always saying that after tx I’m gonna be all skinny and she’s still gonna be overweight. I’m sure she will be happier than a fly on a horses ass once she finds out her theory don’t hold any weight. ~Cheers!

Gotta agree with the Doc on this, your ALT and your AST are higher than normal ranges. Are you taking anything else that would affect your LFT’s like antihistamines or any other drugs, even otc drugs? Other than that, big time congrats on your UND!!!

Here you have to remember that because HCV is only spread by blood to blood contact it has a linear transmission path so in ancient times you would find that all the people infected in an area would have the same or similar genotypes/subtypes. Until you throw in population movement, migration and now modern jet travel, etc. then we start to get a mix of types across the world.
[/quote]Very good analogy of how things came about. So if its been around since ancient times, how has that been determined? Have mummys been found to have HepC?

Given the unsanitary conditions, both on the battlefield and off, its no surprise that a blood borne disease went “viral”. Add Korea and Vietnam, factor in the mass smallpox and polio vaccinations and you have a perfect setting for an epidemic.
Good deduction there Mike, so how did the various genotypes come about? Just asking cause that area always confuses me.
