My height is 5 feet 10 inches (1.77 meters or 70 inches). my doc says i am slightly overweight at the start of tx.
I dont know about the differens between pegulated and standard but getting a pcr first at 16 week is not good if wanna predicting SVR chances.
On first tx I´ve got my first pcr week 12 and since more then 90% of geno 2-3 are UND by then it doesn´t say nada, more then that your a responder which of cource is a good thing in it self.
Week 4 is the minimum and proably week 2 or even earlier is best to get a PCB in order to be able to predict any SVR possibilitys when treating for 24 weeks.

Ps they have screwed up in giving you the best possible information about your tx strategi as they did to me first tx just hope your luckier though.
Its only to hope fore the best if the worst thing should happen which God forbid.
Heres a link that can come handy if you should have to treat again that talks about extending and as a reaponder you should look at the relaps% in the tabells nothing else.
PS: PS just wanna say this to encourage you a little bit your a lot lighter then me and everybody here in Sweden geno 3s I know of cleared with the old protocol except me
and they were all at least 10kg lighter then me I weighted 90kg all through treatment.

My cholestrol level is always in normal range but body is a bit bulky. My age is 30. No demage done to liver before starting Tx. My ALT was max upto 60 before starting tx and after during tx it remains fluctuating max upto 40's. I used to be on simple interferone (3MIU , thrice a week) with 1200mg Riba daily. Does these factors indicate somthing towards SVR ???
The G3 svr rate is between 65-80%. The reason for the range depends on a number of factors.
BMI
Age
Fibrosis Stage
HVL
Steatosis/Cholesterol Level
Insulin Resistance
etc
However if you are UND at week 4 then this is an even better predictor of SVR.
If your only PCR test was done at week 16 and you are UND then this test doesnt tell you much.
If your Cholesterol is back to normal then this is a good sign.
No using NPIA doesnt make that much of a difference to G2 or G3 svr rates.
If we are going to clear we are fairly easy to treat.
Not so if the virus wants to put up a fight though.
All the Best

I forget to ask one thing more.... does Peg interferone (once a week) or simple/standard interferone (3 in a week) makes any difference on SVR
