the gastroenterology forum has a physician who answers medical questions, there are none here.
You should follow up with the physician who ordered these tests, he/she can explain things for you.

Hi all, I just received my latest blood tests and they are shown in a different format than previous test results.  Anyway, I don't have prior test results with me so can't make any comparisons?  Translated:  I admit to feeling pretty stupid about now, but I need your help, please:)

"Test name:  HCV AB"  

What does this test mean?  Unless I have way more brain fog than I think I do, I don't remember seeing this test before?  (week 37/48; I think :).

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Hi again,  Common sense told me the test was for HCV antibodies but it didn't make sense that my Dr would order them as we know I have been infected with with HCV?  Anyway, my Dr just told me the lab messed up, they didn't order those tests so, mild panic over.
Hope everyone is well.

sounds like he or the lab screwed up, he shouldn't be testing for antibodies at this point, only Pcr qualitative, is he fogged?
what a pain!
sorry to hear about this hurdle and hope it clears up, what week was that ab test? is not your 24 wk test, is it?

[cuteus]

just read your post better, lol. no test ordered.
was there a result for the ab test? just curious...let me guess...positive. I'm psychic!

Hey ya Girls! Missed seeing you all lately,,,Hope all is well,,Amerabrit,,,Getting to the countdown soon! Me and You,,,just around the corner!!  Show,,,Hows my blue moon sis,,,Still eating cotton candy? LOL  Hope you are having fun!

[Amerabrit]

yes:) it was positive and the reason I panicked was because I just did week 36 and I wondered if the Dr. had ordered the test without saying anything to me? So, the lab messed up and I have just been faxed a new script with instructions for a PCR 36 week test.  
I hope you're doing okay?  You are soooo close:).

Hi Honey, how are you feeling?   As I get closer to the end, things seem less intense somehow? For example:  I have almost forgotten my shot these last two Fridays - each time I was just off to bed when I realized.  That's odd for me because 7;00pm is about my shot time.  I have had to ask my husband to remind me to take my Procrit shots (anyone reading - make sure the alchol rub has dried and then inject slowly.. takes the sting out - thanks again Califia:) I'm really bored with this whole thing now and I want it over...  LOL - like, who exactly is enjoying tx??  I find I can really relate to the way Chevy has been feeling lately, while not totally depressed, it seems as though I have to talk myself into feeling good and remind myself of all the good things in my life - something that has never ben an issue for me until now.  it's not every day but there is a definitely a change to the way I feel emotionally....
I know you posted a week or so ago about feeling off, is this what you meant?  Anyway, I do hope you're feeling better, we'll be celebrating soon with Donl, TnHepGuy and lots more:)  Did you finish your bathroom? - It sounded absolutely fabulous!

I'm waiting here with a bottle of sparkling apple cider (the non-alcoholic kind, I'm afraid) for each of you.

To paraphrase Albert Einstein, if you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like an hour and if you are waiting for those last weeks of tx, a hour seems like three years.

But your times will come ladies.

SVR to all

Time is moving for us and then we will be SVR!!
