My husband and my liver enzymes were unusually high so he had a screen for Hepatitis C and so did I. His is positive and mine is not but mine is not back yet. Let me know what you find out. Hi ... (I don't know your name!) ... thanks for this and to Nina for posting on the liver thing. As I just got back lab work, I don't believe my enzymes are high (the lab work is about 10 days old), but they have been in the past. It does feel more topical than like " worms under the skin " as Nina wrote. My hands are not red either. Interesting that my brother does have Hep. C but I have not heard him mention this. (Sigh) This flare is kicking my a$$! :-) Tomorrow is a new day though and I plan on doing some kicking back! Thanks to all! Love and Prayers, Beth PS. June ... get that mammogram done. Not only will you get the answers you need, you will help all of us women who admire your bravery! Why live in fear when you can live fearlessly? Get the answers you need! xoxo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your alkaline phosphotase and bilirubin will be high if that's what's causing the itching. Unfortunately, I'm an expert on PBC. :-( Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
