Are you taking any medication?
Side effects from some meds can cause enzymes to soar.
I've had problems tapering off prednisone with high enzymes.  I heard of one person whose high enzymes were caused by a rare allergic reaction to a medication.
What does your doctor think is the cause?

Do you have something wrong with your gallbladder or pancreas in addition to hep perhaps? Those numbers are very very high for just hepC? Plus your alkaline phosphatase is so high that one usually isn't that bad with hep.  what tests have they done for you?

They are so high they are uncommon.
