Expect raised Serum tansaminases. That indicates HCV is biting the liver and both Ab and Ag are negative 'cause probably patient is in the window period but at a latter date, the patient becomes positive for both Ag and Ab if HCV is quick enough to change its coat.....

There is no window period in Hep C, it's called latent period, but these are just words. The above rationales are correct.
