Conversion to Logarithmic Form

(Viral Load is how many viral particles per ML of blood)

*[HCV-RNA (qPCR)-negative] is defined as less than 100 copies/ml of Hepatitis C
viral RNA as measured by the National Genetics Institute assay.
200,000 to 1,000,000 low

1,000,000 to 5,000,000 medium

5,000,000 to 25,000,000 high

above 25,000,000 very high

What is Viral Load?

EQ/ML
Log(EQ/ML)

75,000
4.875

100,000
5.000

125,000
5.097

type hcv viral load into your search engine and you can get an explanation and full chart at hepatitis central . com

Viral load varies this is considered a low VL.  VL does not correlate to liver damage.  If you want to get rid of the virus you need to treat.  There is no "normal" range having any virus is not normal.  Do you mean "typical" ?  No this is low, but it doesn't matter because it's not the amount of virus, but the damage it is doing that matters.

What does this mean to me???  Are those numbers bad???  Are they within normal range??  Do they require treatment???
