HCV RNA PCR,quantitative and HCV quantasure plus(serial) tests

[Guest guest]

How different are these tests? In Dec.01,I was first diagnosed and an

RNA PCR quant. test result of 675,000.In May,I got a HCV quantasure

test which came in at 10,700,000.I've been totally freaking out

thinking it could have grown so fast in 5 mos,then noticed they're

different tests.I really need to find out what they mean,for my own

piece of mind. Has it grown the way it sounds? I've called my doc 8

times,no return calls or answer.Does anyone have any insight on

this.I really would appreciate it.It might save my sanity.

Thanks for any help,

KM
