Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / February 200717/48
Got a 16-week blood test (not for Hep, just for usual stuff). Then took injection 17/48 in the evening. One of those less-common but not rare easy Saturday/hard Sunday weekends. Doctor called today and told me that my liver enzymes were all normal. I said, "Doc, I haven't heard that in over 30 years!". I started having high liver enzyme tests in the late 70's early 80's - but they were transient - sometimes there, sometimes close to normal. >Got a 16-week blood test (not for Hep, just for usual stuff).

Yeah, baybeee! That's the good stuff! For sure tx is knocking your hep for a loop! Keep on kicking its a.s! Did your doc order a viral load test as well - or is he gonna wait until week 24? Cheers - and do carry on! :-) /greyhackles > Did your doc order a viral load test as well - or is he gonna wait until week > 24? I had one at 12 weeks, and it said anything under 600 is considered "undetectable. - my number was 52. I also dug up my last PCR before treatment (almost 2 years before), and it was 3 million copies. I'm sure it was higher by the time I started treatment. The decision to start was based on a more recent biopsy result. > Got a 16-week blood test (not for Hep, just for usual stuff).

Congrats, Russian! Nice work. Makes it easier to stick yourself with the peg-ifn every week when you can see such positive results. First time in 30 years... wow! I'll bet you're still smiling. > Nice work. Makes it easier to stick yourself with the peg-ifn every week > when you can see such positive results. First time in 30 years... wow!

Every single exam since 1977, every one, they'd say, "you're SGOT and SGPT (those were the liver enzyme tests back then) are a little high, but you're otherwise healthy, maybe it doesn't mean anything." Now I'm amazed. |
