Guest guest Report post Posted December 21, 2001 Suzy, Your ALT is about 2.5 times high. What is the status of your HCV-RNA? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted December 21, 2001 Suzy, No, not necessarily. The rise in LFTs is indication of inflammation that IS ocurring at the time. I have always had normal LFTs (except when I had HepB) and I still have progressed from Mild to Moderate. You should definitely see your G.I. luv, mzgee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted December 21, 2001 Iam a a relapser 1 b quit the combo in March of this year, my viral count was like 800,000 but that was the highest the test went, does that mean this disease is kicking my butt again or starting to? with my ALT's that high? My GI doc did want me to start on the new peg, but couldn't brign myself to doing it so soon after the combo gave me a run for my money, I really felt awful and I understand I may not feel the same on the peg, but since I was feeling so good I thought I would take a break and hope something else would come out on the market in the meantime thanks for your input Suzy From: " Suzy Balone " <suzybalone@...> Reply-Hepatitis C Hepatitis C Subject: Re: suzy Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 11:21:07 -0600 Doc might not be able to think right what is HCV_RNA? suzy From: " Doc " <gidoctor@...> Reply-Hepatitis C <Hepatitis C > Subject: Re: suzy Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 14:13:43 +0530 Suzy, Your ALT is about 2.5 times high.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 28, 2002 Dear , Thank you for the link to the P450 update.

He has faith that he can get his story, our story out. Because he is not alone. We are all in this. Asians are not the only ones who have a problem with SSRIs. Every population group has a percentage of people who have adverse reactions, from minor to severe. And we all should have been warned.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 28, 2002 here is the paragraph I found on this site listed below here......... Side effects and potential lethality in overdose are the major drawbacks of the TCAs. An overdose of as little as 7-day supply of a TCA can result in potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias (Kapur et al., 1992). TCA treatment is typically initiated at lower dosages and titrated upward with careful attention to response and side effects. Doses for African Americans and Asians should be monitored more closely, because their slower metabolism of TCAs can lead to higher blood concentrations (Lin et al., 1997). Similarly, studies also suggest that there may be gender differences in drug metabolism and that plasma levels may change over the course of the menstrual cycle (Blumenthal, 1994b). to me it is telling of metabolism differences....but with TCA's > hi I have been looking for things to send to Bob for his doctor...I > came across this article and they mentioned the Asian biological > differences...talking about 4 groups of AD's but relevent I > think...look under the heading on the left for Specific treatments > for episodes of depression and mania....go down several paragraphes > and it is ther, best to ya > > Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General (National Institute of > Mental Health) > http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/mentalhealth/chapter4/sec1.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
