Is there a point at which you would recommend discontinuing treatment due to liver toxicity, short of liver failure? What, for instance, would be the numbers to look for with liver enzyme tests? How high is too high? My doctor has said they are seeing more people in their practice die from liver disorders than from the virus itself nowadays. This has me very concerned since I am co-infected with HCV.
