Hello and welcome to HCM,

The test result of HCV RNA copies of 270685 IU/ml indicates presence of hepatitis C virus DNA and thus hepatitis C virus infection.
The treatment for hepatitis C infection is treatment of the viral infection by anti-viral therapy.
It is important to clear away the hepatitis C infection since hepatitis C infection is associated with chronicity and risk of developing cirrhosis of liver and development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

You need to consult your primary health provider for further management.

Thanks andtake care
