ALT - 217 February 2019 at 1:07 am #28978Congratulations Maga on these excellent results, things look really good. The odds are very much in your favor to stay undetected 12 weeks from now and reach SVR 12. Looking forward to your cure announcement at that time

7 February 2019 at 1:27 am #28979Hello MAGA,
That’s as good as it gets at the end of treatment!
Fingers crossed for SVR12 but it’s all on track.
If you need to take a sneak peak over the next 12 weeks of waiting, a relatively cheap set of liver functions tells the story. If your ALT/AST stay at those 20 +/-5 levels all is well.
YMMV
7 February 2019 at 1:44 am #28980Dr James! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
What would be a reason for the virus to reappear ?
P.S. Not trying to blame anyone, but i suspect infection during the eye surgery in Thailand. They dont test pations before the surgery. Disinfection is qustinable unless done according to CDC procedures. Stay safe!
7 February 2019 at 2:24 am #28981The reason the virus can reappear is that the <15 undetected means <10 - ie 0-9
0 viruses remaining is cured
1+ viruses remaining is probably not
We can't measure down low enough to know it's all gone, so what we do is
1) Wait 1 week for all the medication to wash out of your body
2) Wait another 11 weeks for the virus (if still present) to grow back
3) Test at 12 weeks in which case <15 suggests (with 99.7% certainty) that there is no virus growing back BECAUSE it was all dead back at EOT - we call this Sustained Virological Response (SVR) at 12 weeks (SVR12).At SVR24 we are 99.99% certain you are cured and the 0.01% is probably re-infection.
YMMV
12 February 2019 at 8:21 am #28984Hi MAGA,
Congratulation on your end of treatment and those excellent results. Looking forward to hearing about your SVR12.
14 May 2019 at 7:25 pm #29203SVR12 – NOT DETECTED
AST – 18
ALT -13
Everything else is NormalGlucose fall to – 96. I eliminated almost all sugar from the ration. Except natural from fruits etc.. I took test after the breakfast. Most likely it would be less with fasting before the test.
14 May 2019 at 7:42 pm #29204Congratulations on your SVR 12 Maga!!! Everything looks like back to normal, that’s awesome, enjoy

15 May 2019 at 4:49 am #29206Yay MAGA! Congratulations on the undetected result with those good looking AST/ALT numbers.
Next stop SVR 24….15 May 2019 at 9:54 am #29208Congratulations MAGA. It’s time for the happy dance…. As those TV chefs like to say – here’s on I prepared earlier!
YMMV
