5th week of Harvoni lab results

[48weeks]

My lab report for my 5th week out of 12 weeks of Harvoni has me in great spirits.
AST is usually twice the reference interval, and NOW it is in the normal range
ALT is usually three times the reference interval, and NOW it is 46 with the ref int being 44.
My liver enzymes have been high for at least 25 years. Even high when I was undetected during Incivek treatment prior to my relapse from Incivek, and they are now practically normal. Platelets are also normal. I will get the PCR results at the 12th week lab, although I am considering having it done 4 weeks after eot for my own sanity. I started this treatment with 630,000 copies on my last PCR taken just before I started this treatment.  Best wishes to all of us for SVR, we deserve it.

Excellent progress!  Keep on keeping on.  Seven more weeks and we hope to see UNF, with SVR 12 weeks later!  Pat

Haven't heard from you in a while. Are you on a treatment now?

Best wishes to you....we are nearly in the same boat. My 8 week viral lab was <12 but still detected. My plan is for 24 weeks as I fail 3 prior TX, had a major bleed and well you know the story.

Again, I prayer for our success this this time around.
