Had Hep C Positive With Viral Load. Liver Disease Or Support A Neg Viral Load?
Hi. I do have a question. I had a Hep c test show positive with no viral load. More test were done Albunin 5.0 alpha 1 normal alpha 2 normal Beta Globulin normal Gamma glaobulin normal. So, Is it possible for a pos. test and no viral load? Do these other normal tests prove anything as far as liver disease or support a neg viral load. OR. One has nothing to do with the other? Thanks

Hello.Hep c positive with no viral load means you have the hepatitis C virus but the virus is not active now.Hepatitis C is a chronic pathology with episodes of exacerbation accompanied by increased viral load.You must be periodically reviews the gastroenterologist because your pathology is chronic but is now inactive.The other test that you say are not as important for your pathology.
I wish you good health.
