Leaves of Sequoiadendron giganteum. Giant sequoias are the world's largest single trees and largest living thing by volume. Giant sequoias grow to an average height of 50â85 m (164â279 ft) and 6â8 m (20â26 ft) in diameter. Record trees have been measured to be 94.8 m (311 ft) in height.
The laboratory evaluation included tests for both hepatitis B and C. Tests for hepatitis C consisted of an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test at a cost of $19.60 per test, an anit-HCV antibody screening test (EIA-2) costing $40.20, and a confirmatory recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA) costing $148.90.
Unfortunately, all of the medications that constitute the standard of care in 2015 are prohibitively priced in the U.S. A three-month course of Hepatitis C treatment typically runs between $80,000 and $120,000. The cost of the drugs set the stage for a battle between patients and health insurers. Page 1 2 3.
