im aware that these are high ? but how high ?does it mean serious damage and should I stop drinking all together as I have been drinking a lot lately or could i just cut back ?
I have hep c and my last blood test results are GGt 293 Alt 323 AsT155?
Normal values on AST is below 40, and AST below 56. Your levels are extremely elevated, indicating damage to the liver. Drinking when you have hep c is like throwing gasoline on a fire trying to put it out. Alcohol causes the virus to replicate faster; couple that with the damage alcohol causes alone and it's a recipe for cirrhosis and an ugly death. I have worked with a hep c support group for over 7 years and have seen people who never think it will happen to them, until they end up in the hospital with symptoms of a failing liver (ascites, varices, hepatic encephalopathy), then it's too late to do anything except get a transplant. The problem is, when you need a transplant and you've been drinking, they won't give you a new liver. Livers are precious %26amp; few. Over 10,000 people die each year waiting for a liver.
If you want to live, then you need to quit drinking; plain and simple as that. Best wishes.
Reply:Give up the drink totally, as Hep C can lead to Liver damage and chirossis more so if you are drinking is very high Normal liver reading on ALT is 90
