A member asked:

Quantitative hcv tests of my wife: oct 2012 : 62'750.-- coi jun 2013 : 1'749'327 iu/ml please teach me the equivalence of coi vs. iu/ml. many thanks?

Just some confusion: Iu/ml = international unit per 1 ml. Col likely is an abbreviation for "collected" which refers to the date that the blood was obtained/collected. I would do is take a picture of the paper/result in question and post-it here so that you will get a concrete answer. Either way, i would consult the ordering physician and at over 1.7million iu/ml, you should consider getting treatment. Good luck.

no correlation: Your hepatitis viral load has no correlation with disease activity. Your hepatology will discuss with you the treatment options based on the hepc genotype and may order radiological exams and if indicated liver biopsy . Good luck.
