Is it common for ALT's and AST's (in Hep C patients) to elevate after giving birth?
 
 
Dear Dr. Chung,
 
 
 
Is it common for ALT's and AST's (in Hep C patients) to elevate after giving birth? If this is true, is there a time frame that the liver enzymes will begin to lower again?
 
Thank you-
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Dr Chung Writes-  
 
 
It isn't really well-studied. As you know, however, liver enzymes are notable for fluctuating in HCV... I would follow this over time. I suspect you will see lowering in the next several weeks.
