The assessment of serum HCV-RNA FW+12, using the highly sensitive real-time PCR assay, is almost as effective as FW+24 to predict SVR. However, there are false negatives in female patients with a high viral load of genotype Ib when the SVR is predicted by FW+12. The current standard with FW+24 is reasonable, but the assessment of serum HCV-RNA FW+12 may be effective in most patients.
