DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HEPTIMAX OR QUANTASURE TEST TO REALLY KNOW YOU ARE UNDECTE

[Guest guest]

Anyone not had a Ultrasentive test--Heptimax by Quest or Quantasure by

Labcorp and you are still undected??

I have never had the test--am getting ready to go in my 30th week--went

undedected ??? at week 4-- and I've been reading on other sites I

should have this test @ <5 ulta sensitivity not <50 ...

Any advise....

Thanks Dorsey

Hi Dorsey,

This test does not sound familiar to me. Unless it was bundled in with

confirming tests. Certainly my Dr. never discussed it.

Hi Dorsey --

My hepatologist tested rather frequently with the Hepatimax where they were looking for <5 level. If you were <5 they considered you undetectable. They tested at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, and 1 month post tx. I suppose if someone didn't have good insurance they might have tested less frequently, but with my insurance I didn't have to pay anything for the lab work for which I am grateful to God.

How are you doing these days?

Hugs,
