HCV RNA Detection by Real-Time PCR (Qualitative)
Rs.5,500.00
SKU TEST-0083
Overview:
The HCV RNA Detection by Real-Time PCR (Qualitative) test is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA in the blood. This test amplifies and detects the genetic material (RNA) of the virus, confirming an active infection. The "qualitative" aspect of the test determines whether or not HCV RNA is present in the blood without quantifying the viral load.
What it detects:
This test detects the presence of HCV RNA, confirming that the person is actively infected with Hepatitis C. A positive result indicates an ongoing HCV infection, while a negative result means that there is no detectable HCV RNA in the blood.
Who should get it:
This test is recommended for individuals who have tested positive for HCV antibodies (anti-HCV) to confirm an active infection. It is also useful for monitoring patients with suspected acute or chronic Hepatitis C and for evaluating the need for antiviral therapy.
Sample required:
A blood sample is required for this test.
