Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi , How are your LFT's? That's your liver function tests such as ALP, AST, ALT and bilirubin. If they're elevated, the hepatitis test would be standard to rule out hepatitis infection as a cause for the elevated counts. If your counts are normal, perhaps it's just a standard procedure that they do with everyone who's on cancer therapy where you are. The different types of hepatitis can be caused by different things, not just blood transfusions so it really is quite " easy " to catch if exposed to it. Hep A for instance can be caught from contaminated food. Let us know what happens, Tracey > > > I went in to have my labs done today -- a week ahead of my next appointment, since it takes the lab several days to get the PCR results to the doctor. > > I was stunned to see that this time, the checklist included tests for several types of hepatitis!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 , Aren't you at UCSF? Wouldn't it be funny if we were there at the same time? My labs included several extra tubes as well (today was normally a CBC day, so should have been one tube). I wonder if maybe someone came down with hepatitis and they are testing all the patients to make sure they are okay? Although, wouldn't they have to tell us? Beth [ ] Hepatitis?! I went in to have my labs done today -- a week ahead of my next appointment, since it takes the lab several days to get the PCR results to the doctor.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 You don't! It is scary. Although for me, I've seen hepatitis first hand and seen a good recovery, so maybe I'm not as scared as I should be. Both my parents contracted hepatitis while we were on vacation at my grandparents in Kansas. (It was determined they picked it up on the drive out there) and had to spend some time in quarantine in the local hospital. Both ended up fine, although they cannot donate blood...
