I recently had blood work done to check for many things because I m getting ready to be a gestational surrogate. Everything came back good, except it showed my levels slightly elevated for a gastrointestinal virus. I was told I was at 1.5 and normal is under 1. Is it possible that I contracted the virus but didn t get sick from it? Because I ve not been sick with stomach issues in a very long time. Also, how long will it take to get my levels down below 1.
Hi, There are a variety of gastrointestinal viruses that can cause asymptomatic infections. It depends on the type of virus that you have been infected with, to determine when the levels will fall down below 1. Usually it takes 2-8 weeks, but viruses such as Hepatitis B or C can stay chronic for a long time. I hope I have answered your question. Wish you a healthy pregnancy!
