Why Do My Liver And Kidneys Hurt?
I was admitted to Pikes Peak Regional Hospital last week end with what I thought was a UTI - they ran liver enzymes testing and my levels are extremely elevated - I went thru hep c treatment 3 years ago and stayed in remission for one month - my liver and kidneys hurt - are you able to help me?

Thanks for the consultation. Looks like you have got reactivation of hepatitis C and maybe secondary iinvolvement of kidneys which may or may not be directly related to hep C. I usually will evaluate such a patient with renal and liver function tests and would treat again with interferon and ribavirin once genotype is confirmed.
U better consult a hepatologist urgently.
Wish you best of health.
