Patient: My husband and I have applied for new health insurance.  After nornal lab results from a life insurance blood chemistry the week prior, the health insurance company states there results indicated a positive HCV result.  His AST is 36U/L, his ALT 30U/L.  How could they make this claim?  What other result would indicate HCV?  My husband is age 59, 175 pounds and in excellent health. Doctor: Your liver function test is normal. It must be chronic condition.  You dont have any problems then its ok.no needed to take any treatment.  If you want to claim then go for elisa test it will give perfect results.  And on basis of that you can claim.
