don't sweat it. it happens to some of us and doesn't mean you relapsed. If it will make you feel better do a post 4 & 12 week PCR test.

best of luck

copyman is correct. sometimes that just happens, it is the pcr test that tells the truth

That happened to me also, my 5 month post tx ALT/AST tests were double what they were EOT but my 6 month PCR came back undetected (ie: SVR). I know how worrying it is though so I would suggest you get a 4 week EOT PCR for peace of mind. All the best!

58 is not high. According to my lab, its within the normal range.
Don't worry.
