What does this mean?
Does anyone know what 43-69,000,000 IU/ML means? Doctor says I have Hepc 1a. Is this my virol load? Have an appt in 2 weeks with a specialist and just trying to understand as much as I can before I go. Also what is Value 5237276?

my doctor told me that normal count is 1 and I am 34 in reference to hep c what exactly does this mean, all she said was "well I've seen higher" not really comforting..referred for hep c evaluation
the 43-69 million is the lowest to highest range the test measures. you viral load was 5+ million. you can find out a lot by reading posts here and on a site called

What you seem to have had was a Qualatative viral load test with a reflex to Quantative viral load. What that means is that the doc ordered a test to see if any Hep virus buggers could be found. There were, and the estimated number of them was somewhere between 43 and 69 million (but I really think it was more like 43 and 7 million). The next step of the test to count them if there were any found. The count came back as 5,237,276 (which is in the lower range of a lot)
