Hep C: Liver funtion tests may go up and down, what is really necessary to know is how high is the hep c viral load, or does the liver has sign of cirrhosis, is the hep c one of the genotypes that can be easly treated ? Some people who are infected with hep c get rid of the virus spontaneously therefore will have an undetected viral load and normal lft also. Ask doctor to check viral load.
