Hi
Thanks for your query
Hepatitis C positivity means your husband is infected with Hepatitis C virus which causes inflammation of the liver.
That is probably the reason for raised liver enzymes.
He needs treatment for ongoing hepatitis as it can progress to cirrhosis and carcinoma if left untreated.
Hope this helps
Regards
