Hey Josh,

All of these tests are to assist the physician in determining the causes of specific liver problems. I'm going to guess that your doc is simply covering all of his/her bases. They are aware of your pre existing HCV, but these tests are going to provide a more in depth view of your liver function and using these tests to further rule out any additional problems. Looks to me that you have no other underlying problems. At least these tests dont indicate anything else  The Ceruloplasmin level helps to determine copper levels and your body's ability to transport it in and out of the liver. Yours is at the low end of normal and I wouldn't worry about it. Your doctor just appears to be thorough!
