Log count
My primary Dr. ran a quantitative count on my HCV came back a log 10 this was about 8 weeks ago, I was sent to another Dr. they did more blood work and the log count came back at a 5. Please note no change in habits no treatments nothing I was told by the Dr. that it can fluctuate I can see where it could but is possible for it to fluctuate that much?

The log of 100,000 to the base 10 is 5.
The log of 10,000,000,000 to the base 10 is 10.
Logarithms to the base 10 are generally used as a way of expressing viral load for HCV. 100,000 IU/ml is a low viral load, and within the normal range of what to be expected. Such a low viral load would give you a greater chance of success of treatment.
10 billion IU/ml is however an unlikely viral load. I suggest you check that number out. Viral loads may vary, but not to that extent.
