I'm getting worried

[GSDgirl]

I finally got my 12 week labs and don't know how to really read it.  Please help

original was
Hep C Quantitation       757,000
HCV  log 10                   5.879

12 weeks later

HCV Quantasure Plus (non graph)
Hep C Quantitation     <10           IU/ml
   less than 10 iu/ml indicates either complete absense of HCV RNA or in rare cases, low copy number below the      dectable limit of of the assay.

HCV log 10
      unable to calculate result since non-numeric result obtained for component test.

Please note:
      this test measures HCV RNA in international Units per ml using real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR technology.  It quantifiesnHCV RNA from 10 to 1000,000,000

AST        24

ALT         20

I am so happy for you!  Know the feeling celebrating with a new comforter.  I bought one because i was down one day and thought "i have 25 or so more weeks in this bed, i need something to cheer me up".  I was also told to reduce riba, and did not!  


Peace

Th.anks Trin!!!!   I knew you would not reduce both times.  SVR to you too.

I just got the results of my last pcr  done at the end of March and it was UND still !!!!!!!  Yahoo!!!!!!  Next test is in September. .one up above was in december

So today I went out and celebrated.........no, no drinks, although I would just love a frozen white russian.  I bought a new duvet cover and pillows for my bed.  Got tired of the comforter after spending so many days in there LOL.

You go girl!!!  SVR for you!!!  I think you're going to be fine and I refuse to accept anything different.  After all, as NYMike says, we're twins!!!
Just keep feeling better.  I had some good news today as well.  Platelets and ANC went back up so don't have reduce peg dosage.  I almost laughed in my docs face today when he said "now aren't you glad you reduced dosage 2 times and allowed your numbers to come back up".  I smiled and shook my head yes knowing full well I didn't reduce last weeks dosage at all.  HEE HEE  My gut feeling was go for it and I did and I'm glad I did.  Anyway, glad to hear the good news.  Take care my friend!!

Thanks!!  I am now waiting for my last hcv test results, I have been done with 24 weeks for about 11 weeks now.  Lab screwed up and I should have had them 4 weeks ago.  I am just nervous, almost 2 weeks feeling human again just seems too good to be true and clear.  nervous nelly here LOL.

Seems to me that you are Undetectible down to ten and that is why there is no number. Also your AST and ALT look MARVELOUS - I'm not sure where you started but it doesn't get much better than to be in the 20s (unless it's the teens and I've only been there a few times after being UND for two years +) !!!!!

Congrats!
