what is the normal value (rangh) of the HCV,RNA,PCR in IU (international unit) and in ml (millilitter).

[FlGuy]

The normal range for a pcr is a number less than the lower end of the sensitivity of the test, whether it's in IU or part per ML

RNA HEP C VIRAL PCR QUAN can be expressed in a variety of ways.

Your viral load is the specific amount of viruses in a given volume of blood (1 millimeter = 1 cubic centimer)

below 200,000 very low
200,000 - 1,000,000  low
1,000,000 - 5,000,000  medium
5,000,000 - 25,000,000  high
above 25,000,000  very high

not quite sure what you mean?

there are a few different tests used in different countrys... usually averaging 50iu/ml to 100,000,000iu/ml but some can count lower than 50iu/ml, down to about 15iu/ml or less depending on test used

the 'international unit' is a "measurement" IN millilitres - so if your Viral Load was say 300,000 iu/ml then thats 300,000 units of HCV per 1ml of blood
