My blood results show the following:
HBV DNA LogCopy/mL 4.0
HBV DNA LogIU/mL 3.2
Most information online refers to IU/mL, not LogIU/mL or LogCopy/mL.
How do I convert my results to IU/mL?

Hi , My understanding is that LogIU/ml means that the amount of virus detected is so small it can not accurately be quantified below the amount stated . IU/ml is the actual viral count . In effect what your results are saying is that your viral load is so low it can not be accurately measured -
I think that reply is incorrect.
I've asked the same question here:
healthunlocked.com/britishl...
But in the meantime, was able to find the answer myself:
Some countries report HBV DNA results primarily in logIU/mL, while some others - in IU/mL.
LogIU/mL 3.2 is 1585 IU/mL (10^3.2 = 1584.89319...).
As from here:
microbiology.testcatalog.or...
10 to 1,000,000,000 IU/mL (1.00 log to 9.00 log IU/mL).
So:
IU/mL | logIU/mL
10 | 1 (10^1)
100 | 2 (10^2)
1,000 | 3 (10^3)
10,000 | 4 (10^4)
100,000 | 5 (10^5)
1,000,000 | 6 (10^6)
10,000,000 | 7 (10^7)
100,000,000 | 8 (10^8)
1,000,000,000 | 9 (10^9)
