Conversion factors for units: BUN in mg/dL to mmol/L, x0.357; Cr in mg/dL to μmol/L, x88.4; C4 complement in mg/dL to μmol/L, x0.05.
HCV PCR result interpretation.
Not detected: target not detected (not the same as negative).
<12 /ml: detected (but not quantifiable).
12-100,000,000 IU/ml.
>100,000,000 IU/ml: >upper limit of quantification.
