Genotype 3a

Grade 3 stage 1? What does this mean how long yall think I have had it? Stage one being better than most I guess? Breakdown and severity please.

Viral Load is 250 thousand before treatment!

Ast and ALt where 600 and 400 for one year before flare up spiked to 1200 and 900 when I found out.

What are my chances of clearing this? My doctor said good.

About a month ago I completed 24wks course for geno 3. Regardless of what scale they used, your chances are higher then average, Especially if you are undectable at wk 4.
The dosage of the riba is weight driven.And what you can tolerate. At first I was taking 1200mg. but about 3 months into it we had to decrease the dosage because my hemoglobin was contining to drop despite using procrit. There are some many studies and information available you can make yourself crazy(as I have done). But in the end the studies say you have a higher chance of success. Even being female is in your favor.

Do you know what scale they used to grade you?  There is a scale that grades 1 - 6 and a scale that grades 1-4.

Being that you are a geno 3 your chances of clearing the virus are a lot better than a geno 1, probably around 80%.

P.S. 250,000 is a low viral load so that is in your favor as well.
