Friends,

I was suffering HCV Gentype 3. My Age 42 yrs.

On July 2007 My Hepatologist given my Pegasys 180mcq ribavirin 1200mg/per day 135mcq when platelet count decreases.

After six months of my therapy I found the report:

ULTRA SOUND: Portal fibrosis, Scarred Tissues & Mild splenomegaly
After 7 months of my therapy (ends)

The first PCR(HCV RNA QUANTITIVE) was done by a well reputed path lab named Super Religare Lab ltd,Mumbai.
Which showed negative with non detectable limits.

After one month I had my PCR test from a Lab named LAB-AID,Dhaka Bangladesh.

It's confusing.Which showed the viral load as:
HCV RNA: POSITIVE
HCV RNA IN IU/ml:4.7x10(7)
HCV RNA COPIES :1.9X1(9)


Now i sent the blood again to Super Religare Lab ltd,Mumbai.
Also sent to National university hospital Singapore for same test.

But my hepatlogist wants to continue monotherapy knowing the ALT,AST result.

Would you please advice me?

thank you
