The last doctor appointment I had some blood work came back. My Ammonia was up over 100 & my AFP(alpha feta protein) was 104 when it's not supposed to be more than 6.6. AFP is a tumour marker.

AFP is often high in HCV+ people, it always has been for me, just not this high. Keep your fingers crossed but don't get all bent out of shape worrying, I'm not.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I won't be getting the results of the ultrasound until next week, so we'll see then (fingers crossed). As for the other - screw the Lactulose. I'm giving myself a few days off - my butt hurts so I'm giving it a rest.
