SVR statistics

I found some great websites that talk about statistic on what increases and what decreases a person's chance to obtain an SVR (always being undectable for the virus) after treatment. I thought other people would like to see it.

Also I also found a website that gives alot of precentages for SVR on individualized characteristics of people on treatment. It includes age factor, viral load, alt levels (liver enzymes)and stage of liver disease. I hope this information helps some people.

" Thanks to both of you. Being a fellow hepper, I want to be as much help as I can. It helps me alot to know I can make a difference, even with being on treatment and low energy due to anemia. I use to think I couldn't make a difference at all in my present state, and I think everyone should remember we all can make a difference no matter what our present state is with this disease or our present health condition. Small steps (which alot of us, this is all we can do) can have the biggest impact! Just letting people know you understand and are there for them emotionally can make a huge difference -it did for me when people on here did that for me! I was all alone when I was first diagnosed and started treatment, now I finally feel I belong! *big hugs* "
