Blood tests today...what will these reveal?

Hi Freinds -

I already know im a 1A, but the hepatologist sent me for these blood tests - what will they reveal?  
1. Hep C RNA Quantative
2. Hep A Total Antibody
3. PT With INR

Thanks for any input -

will these test reveal my viral load?

the pcr quant test will tell you the viral load

1)to determine your  viral load for hep C
2)To diagnose an infection with hepatitis A or to evaluate the need for or response to the hepatitis A vaccine
3)To determine your prothrombin time, (blood clotting time) which is determined by proteins made in your liver. INR is the international ratio that makes the test standardized so the results remain the same no matter what is used to determine the clotting factor.
Hope this is understandable

the rna shows your viral count but this does not mean much. the big test is the biopsy. the bx stage shows if you need to tx soon or can wait years.
