Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.Sorry to hear you are suffering from hepatitis C.
Elevated liver functions are common with viral hepatitis infection especially if infection not well controlled.I will suggest you see your Hepato-gastrologist for evaluation and tests.Tests that may help may include: abdominal ultrasound and a viral load if possible. I pill may not give you such a presentation or take your liver enzymes that high.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Wish you good health
