: Lab tests are a slice, a moment in time, and are useful in supporting the overall picture provided by your medical history and your physical examination. The best practitioner to interpret your lab tests is the Physician that ordered them. Call or see him/her to review your data with you. He/she can then recommend appropriate treatment.

Question 2

can you tell me if i'm getting tested for hepatitis c/antibodies does it also test for thc?

Accepted Answer

No: Drug-testing is a specific test, usually of urine, and you must be informed that you are being tested in most (if not all) states.  The test for hepatitis c antibody is a blood test that is specific for that one problem.  If your test is positive, further testing needs to be done to determine the activity and extent of the hepatitis c infection.  There is evidence that marijuana may damage liver.
