I have recently been treated for Hepatitis C. My numbers have gone down quiet a bit since my first test. These are the results as they appear on the Quest Diagnostics Laboratory Report
Test Out of Range Reference Range Units
Heptimax (R) HCV RNA 221 <5 IU/ml (95)
Heptimax (R) HCV RNA 2.34 <0.70 l og IU/ml (95)
What is the prognosis, or what can I expect, in the future? As the numbers continue to decline (and they should) will treatment be necessary for much longer? Are the numbers as shown for "Out of Range" expected to go all the way down to 0 (zero)?
This treatment and disease is new to me. Anything you can provide me to better understand or how to cope would be greatly appreciated.
