Guest guest Posted September 9, 2001 Report Share Posted September 9, 2001 It is unlikely that methadone itself is causing the enzymes to rise. It may well be a combination of both. The things I wrote merely said that if you require continued deaddiction with methadone, then its dose must be monitored as its effect on a cirrhotic liver will decrease. If you have to take methadone, then you have to continue it. You must explore the possibility of getting treated for Hep C as well. The AST/ALT in Hep C keep fluctuating on their own..this is what we call the yo-yo phenomenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
