And i forget to mention the second lab is most reputed lab in india named ranbaxy . My worries are about the nested pcr method that was done .

I think you are fine and don't have HCV. Sounds like first test was a false positive. You can have one more test in a few months to be sure. Best of luck

Same as I said before I copy what copyman said. It sounds like you do not have HCV so I don't know why they would be doing ultrasound. Wait a few months and test again to be sure but it seems you are fine.

Thanks for the help . Ya i am waiting for making the another test. But i am very afraid to make the another pcr because of the first false positive ( I pray it must be ) .

And will every one in acute stage have liver enzyme rise ?
