SKU TEST-0084
Overview:
The HCV RNA Detection by Real-Time PCR (Quantitative) test is a molecular test used to detect and measure the amount (quantify) of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA in the blood. By amplifying and measuring the viral RNA, this test provides precise information about the viral load in the body. It is used to assess the severity of the infection and to guide treatment decisions.
What it detects:
This test detects and quantifies the amount of HCV RNA in the blood. The result is a measure of the viral load, which helps in evaluating the level of infection and determining the prognosis. High viral loads may indicate more severe or active infection, while low viral loads may suggest a less severe infection or better response to treatment.
Who should get it:
This test is recommended for individuals who have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C, particularly to monitor viral load before, during, and after antiviral treatment. It is also useful for assessing treatment response and determining whether the infection is likely to cause liver damage or complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer.
