Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
I have reviewed your results, the liver enzymes are very mildly elevated and there is nothing to be worried about.
Any history of current drinking? Or do you have a history of alcohol consumption?
Regarding HCV, it can't be transmitted through oral sex. HCV can be transmitted through contaminated blood products, perinatally, or through sexual intercourse ( mostly anal ). So please do not worry about HCV or HBV for that matter from the exposure you had.
For the liver to heal, please avoid spicy or high protein diet food for the time being. Also you can try syrup silymarin twice daily for about a month, and check your values again. They should be normal.
Hope this was helpful,
Dr. Jaydeep.

Thank you for your answer. That makes me feel better! I do not drink on a regular basis. Very seldom on weekends. Maybe once a month or so.
I do excercise quite a bit as well. Is it possible AST and bilirubin are elevated as a result of excersise?
Thank You

Hello,
That's a good thing that you have pretty much no history of regular drinking.
Then the liver will recover faster.
If you have no associated symptoms repeat your LFT values in a month and let me know.
Also, no it is not related to exercise.
Regards.
