 Dear Amanda, The liver tests often go up and down and really do not mean anything. The PCR, the viral load is important, but not as predictable as HIV, and the best is really a liver biopsy to determine how much damage has been done to the liver. He should have a PCR and a liver biopsy and then be considered for treatment, because we can cure this virus! DTD | ||||||||
