If your liver enzyme count is high... say 5Million per 1000, what does that mean?

Honestly that's something whoever performed your blood test should have explained to you.

Any level over 1000 is associated with Hepatitis C. Have you been diagnosed by your doctor and you don't believe his results?

I found a site that says 1 pg (pico-gram) of genetic material corresponds to about 1 million virus equivalents, so, if your lab result is given in picograms, just multiply the lab result by 1,000,000, and you have the number of viruses.

200,000 to 1,000,000 low

1,000,000 to 5,000,000 medium

5,000,000 to 25,000,000 high

Above 25,000,000 very high
