Living Without HepC

Having had blood tests taken a few weeks ago, I then tucked the matter to the back of my mind as I knew the results of the PCR would take at least two weeks to come back to my surgery. And then I forgot all about it till recently. This morning I called my surgery for the results.

The PCR was diagnosed as “normal, no action required” – so no HepC virus. Good news.

My LFT results were all within normal ranges. I have traditionally tracked ALT which measures the inflammation of the liver. Normal range is up to 24 and mine is 17. So, my liver is not inflamed and is functioning normally. This is consistent with previous test results over the past few years. So good news there too.
