[|Human|] HCV test shows reactive , ast 49 and alt 91, am i at risk of life
[|AI|]  Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor ...HCV reactive means you're or were infected with Hepatitis C virus.AST & ALT being normal means its dormant, means its just lying silent in your liver, not damaging your liver for now. Consult a gastroenterologist and find out if he would advise treatment. Usually when hepatic enzymes are normal, no treatment is requires but if the virus is active then treatment may be required. U r not at risk of your life now. The complications can be - liver damage (cirrhosis), Hepatocellular cancer(liver cancer), these are possible complications, does not mean you will have them for sure, but u have a chance to have them.Don't worry a lot, consult a gastroenterologist, get an advice, take treatment if he advises and take precautions not to spread it - don't donate blood.
