| Response from Dr. Fried
 The eleveated ALT and AST indicate that you have hepatitis or inflammation of the liver. The levels of these enzymes do not correlate very well with the stage of hepatitis C or the prognosis. Your doctor should fully evaluate you, possibly including liver biopsy, and make a decision with you about your suitability for treatment. | ||||||||
