Number 1378 in the Zero Club Zavie I assign a Zero Club number once you reach CCR. I don't recall assigning you one in the past, so enjoy it. PCR values tend to fluctuate. It takes 3 consecutive results to establish a trend. I would only worry if there as a 1 log or greater change and then ask to be retested. It looks like your doctor is right on top of it. I can say don't worry, but if I had a 1 log increase I would ask to be retested.
