molecular pathology result

HBV DNA Quantitative by real time PCR           234 00 h.         iu/ml plasma    ref range  1000000 iu/ml indicates that the Hbv DNA level is above the upper limit for this assay.
An "undetected" Hbv DNA result in conjunction with a positive anti-Hbv antibody status does not exclude the possibility of a resolved Hbv infection .  
When clinically indicated patients should be retested for Hbv DNA in 4 to 8 weeks to distinguish between past/ resolved  Hbv infection and chronic Hbv infection with episodic viral replication"


clinical background: severity of disease arising because of hepa b viral infection is associated with progress of the viral load in the body of hapa b viral DNA monitoring is therefore required to decide on the need for specific therapy as well as the response and outcome of such therapy in the patient.


PLEASE help interpret the result I got abroad.  This was aug 21, 2014.  I am now in philippines because I was not able to pass medical test.  I had another test in hi precision which I will get tomorrow .

Some lab put H or L right after result. Means above reference range or they put L in case of below reference range.

It is very difficult to read the result of your viral load(hbvdna) " 234 00 h  iu/ml "

Can you please re-state the result, where is the "h" come from?
