Iron and Copper Serum levels?

How much do these affect with Hep C?

My last blood test showed elevated Iron along with Copper Serum and Ceruloplasmin.

Wow, I'm posting about increased iron levels at the same time your posting a very similar thread. I didn't show any increased copper levels though. What did your doc say about it?  Pauly

I had a handicap with elevated iron before starting treatment which was a big concern of my hep c doctor.  She said specifically that I should not take vitamin c while eating high iron foods because it causes it to be absorbed into the system.  She also said too much iron in the liver is bad for people with hep c.
