I have hepaptitis c. I was on triple therapy with incevek began in July of 2012 ended in middle September due to severe anemia hemaglobin dropped to 3. Transfusions were given. My sgot and sgpt were almost normal in May of 2013. In October of 2013 my readings were 157 and 152 sgot and sgpt. Do you think the cause was due to the triple therapy?

Hi
Thank you asking HCM
I have read the history of your father and Iam sorry for experiencing such sad situation.
First of all , anemia is a common side effect of triple therapy.
Related to you high (SGOT andSGPT) they can increase during therapy .
I need to know the level of your last HCV RNA exam.
Both HCV RNA AND TRANSINAZES will help us to valuate your triple therapy sccessful or not. I need to know also the genotype of C viruse because some genotypes are more difficult to treat than the others.
regards
