Bilirubin
by jankar, Oct 30, 2008 07:48PM
I am starting to track blood test and other results to see how I am going.
I got a bilirubin result: Bilirubin Total - Plasma of 6 on 5 September before I started treatment. Didn't tell me the reference range.
4 weeks into treatment I got a Bilirubin total result of 16 on 29 October.
The tracker says it must be between 1 - 10. My results says it can be between 0 - 20.
Call me confused. I don't really even know the significance of the bilirubin test but it is in the tracker and on my journey of learning I think I will start here.
All I really understand are the ALT test and the viral load test ( I think).
I got a HCV RNA test of 245122 IU/mL but another test result labelled HCV Log Viral Load came back at 5.39. What do these mean?
Thanks
