hey ......sorry guys........didn't visit this post of mine, for long....... :roll:
YES..........PAN is associated with hepatitis B and not Hepatitis C..................SORRY ABOUT THAT~~~~~~ 
and the doubt regarding bone or liver disease.........
when serum alkialine phosphatase is elevated, how will u know whether it's from liver or bone source??????????
so, if liver source.........an associated GGT and (also infact, 5-nucleotidase) are elevated along with alk.phos.
but in bone it's ONLY alk. phos which is elevated!!!!!!!!!!
hope that clears the doubt!!!!!!!!!!

I think the order is reversed for alkaline phosphatase thing ie Increase GGT + alkaline phosphatase in liver disease and only alkaline phosphatase in bone disorders
