Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
First of all, I don't mean higher than usual.
Is it ok for my WBC to be this high (5.5 to 5.8)?
It was usually between 3 and 4. Does this mean that IFN isn't working?
I always heared that it goes down to a certain level and stay close to it during the whole tx.

you're doing great. range is 4.0 - 10.5. I don't think it has any bearing
on tx working or not, but I'm not posative. What week are you on, I forget. I think you're around the same as me...?
This is a great, easy to understand link from the VA re: understanding labs and tx tests....
I wish my wbc were high, I am in wk 36 on Fri and my wbc dropped in 4 weeks from 3.2, to 3.0, to 2.2 yesterday; the lowest ever.....
Its working!!!! No more doubting!!!
You told me that wbc above 2 is still ok, and you're in week 36, so you're almost done!
Keep fighting.
Peaceful, I'm in weak 18 (Started Feb,20).
I hope that Neupogen raises your WBC.
