abbreviation lab work definitions and numbers
I have a copy of my lab work results but I can't make heads or tails of it. What numbers should I be concerned with and what are considered normal or elevated? Thanks, Donald
Okay, the likely labs to review would be:
Liver enzymes: ‘ALT/AST’;
Viral load: this is likely listed as ‘HCV RNA QUAL’ (HCV RNA Qualitative)
I don’t know if this helps; if you have additional questions, fel free to list them. Someone will try to help; I will check back tomorrow sometime. Good luck,
Bill

HEPC for 2 years and soon I'll begin treatment. I was told my lab numbers have suddenly become elavated. Thanks Bill
Usually, lab results show *your* result beside what’s known as a ‘reference range’. The reference range shows the ‘acceptable’ range that would normally be found for that particular result. For instance, your ALT result might be listed as 45 U/L; within a reference range between 9-60 U/L.
