Not sure that you can draw any conclusions from this, because it seems that these levels vary from person to person. Mine normalized from 124/79 down to 24/22 by day 15, and stayed in that low range throughout tx. Turns out that day 15 was UND time too. This was in the Prove 1 trial.

on the trial mine normalized and now are off again. Could be the other stuff for the sides, I will have to wait and see.

I guess I have brain fog since it is 4:14 here.

Every time I tried standard treatment, my ast/alt would increase even as my viral load decreased.  In the prove 3 trial, all my liver panel tests normalized within a week and have not changed in22 weeks.

I am in the Prove 3 trial.  I am not sure what you are looking for regarding the trial.  Can you be specific?

i know. but it is common. I went through the same anxiety when it happened and was reassured that it was common on treatment, even VX. Easy for me to say but try not to sweat it too much.

No insight on Vx but on SOC my alt/ast has popped up to twice normal. Next labs friday.  I'll post after those are back.
