Common Questions and Answers about Viral infection lab values

1037184 tn?1252781679 I am negative for both and would like to remain so. The lab values on his HSV 2 test were quite high. My question is do your lab values fluctuate or go up when my partner is in an outbreak? An example of what I am asking would be similar to a case where someone has some sort of bacterial infection and their white count goes up.
Avatar n tn The normal values listed here are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and every lab has a different range for what’s normal. It is important doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This may mean that a value which may fall outside the normal values listed above may still be normal for you or your lab. Do consult your doctor for more queries. Best lucks and regards!
Avatar f tn Normal meaning everything was in range. On the lab report it said <160 and <100 but the dr wrote in that the dna count was <20,000. Im confused because they weren't very informative.
Avatar m tn Hi there, The test results should be correlated with the reference values of the lab. The reference values of each lab varies. A clinical correlation is also important. In those individuals who have positive HbeAg results there are higher rates of viral transmission. The appearance of anti-HBe in serum is called seroconversion and is associated with a lower level of HBV DNA or a low replicating state of the virus.

Avatar m tn do not cosnider hbvdna values as something that matters to hbv infection, hbvdna is a useless test just to use for antivirals but as regards liver status, immune status, hbv status the hbvdna test alone means nothing
Avatar f tn My ALT & AST were always in the normal range, even when the viral load was very high. For example, this winter my viral load was 16,000,000 and ALT & AST were both 22. Just before the treatment, my viral load was 7,150,000, AST was 24, and ALT 31, both is in the middle of the normal range. My always normal ALT & AST were the reason for a significant delay in the diagnosis. With numbers like this viral hepatitis was the last thing on the doctor's mind. The Dr.
Avatar m tn Recently, Nov 2017, I had a viral respiratory infection, took antibiotics, then Dec 2017 I had bacterial throat infection, took antibiotic, infection finally cleared up approx 2 weeks ago, stopped coughing etc.....
Avatar f tn My doctor is not very helpful, he gets irritated when I call to ask questions and get worried about values. I asked him about my viral load values because I never have heard of this test. He said that apparently I have been taking wrong tests this whole time and we will begin running these tests next week.
Avatar m tn high lymphocytes indicates a viral infection.. its not possible that its HIV and about cancer, its only in a rare case, leukemias are found through an abnormally raised lymphocyte count in an otherwise normal person.. you'll be just fine.. maybe you have colds that time.. you'll be fine.
1445110 tn?1388209711 The Hepatitis C antibody test will only tell you if you have been exposed to Hepatitis C. About 20-25 % of people who are exposed to Hepatitis C will fight it off on their own. They will always carry the antibodies but they will not have Chronic Hepatitis C. Medications will not affect the result. In order to know if you have Chronic Hepatitis C you need to get a Hepatitis C RNA done (HCV RNA). This test will tell HCV RNA PCR if you have Chronic Hepatitis C and if you carry a viral load.
Avatar n tn this post is from a lot of time ago but this is a good example, to explain latest studies from brunetto researcher in italy and maybe some other researchers around the world: hbsag values can help predict seroconversion with interferon (also with nucs but more studies are needed) when lower than 320 S/N (1000-1500iu/ml, values that are usually for inactive carriers).
Avatar f tn Thank you both for your timely and informative responses! Best of luck to all!
Avatar m tn Monocyte normal value, according to a lab that did that type of test on me (lab values vary) 1.7-9.3 percent, so yours would be low than at 1.1. But on stills disease lab test site, they say that normal can be 0-9 percent which would put your number in normal range seemingly. It says monocytes are helpful in fighting severe infections and that a low value indicates a state of health.
Avatar f tn There is nothing to worry about as far as your husband's viral load (VL). VL does not relate to the level of HVC illness nor is it related to the progression of liver disease. Viral load (VL) It is used during treatment to measure how someone is responding the treatment. Liver damage is really what you should focus on. Your husband should have a biopsy done to find out the status of any liver damage he may have.
Avatar m tn Could some one interpret this lab results?...thanks!..what does having a REACTIVE Anti HBe (0.456) and Anti HBc IgG (0.004)means? and a NONREACTIVE HBeAG and Anti HBc IgM? here the lab findings: HBsAg w/ titer 0.489 Nonreactive Anti HBs >1000 Reactive HbeAg 0.185 Nonreactive Anti HBe 0.456 Reactive Anti HBc IgM 0.077 Nonreactive Anti HBc IgG Reactive thanks in advance!
Avatar n tn hi all, recently i was screened for Hep C hep B and HIV and all came negative except for Hep C, i was so worried and i had no drugs or any of that background, had only 1 unprotective contact with my girl wich is negative for hep C, anyways, i waited for a week and went to a diffirent lab and the result came out negative. so iam really confused, which to believe and what to do next?
Avatar f tn I spoke with my specialist (the old one, dec 5th I meet with new one) briefly on the phone today and asked her when and what the lab tests r. She told me the viral load is Wk 4, 12 and then at the end if I'm UND at week 12. If I'm detected at all at wk 12 the treatment stops. She said I get my CBC every 2 weeks for the first 2mos and then monthly after that. This all doesn't seem right.
