Jan. 27, 2004
Hi Lloyd,
i hope your well, i finally got the results of my latest blood work
It seems that my HCV RNA IU/ ML dropped dramatically
from
15,300,000 TO 512,000
the SGPT WHICH WAS 204 HAS DROPPED TO 99
HOWEVER my SGOT WENT UP FROM 97 TO 188
WHICH KIND OF THROWS ME. what do you make of that? any suggestions.
I'm 10 days away from my 60th day on your program, And interested in what you think..
.Thank you for your time
R.
Hi R:
No one uses SGPT or SGOT any more, they use AST and ALT.
Anyway, I do see this happen is a very small number of clients. I am not sure why.
There are many different conditions that can affect the AST and or the ALT.
Have your ferritin level checked. It is a simple blood test, $ 41.00. If your ferritin level is high, these numbers can dance, mostly stay high. Ferritin is the first items to check because it is usually the culprit.
Please let me know if you have a ferritin test and if not fax it to me
when you get it,
310 457 9449.
I am very happy about your viral load.
In good health
Lloyd
