The anti-HCV test, also known as the HCV antibody test, tests a person's blood for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, which can be positive or negative depending on the results of the HCV antibody test. When infected with a virus, antibodies are released into the bloodstream, allowing the infection to infect other people.

Why done?

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is seen causes serious issues that is seen to affect 71 million people globally. The most common manifestations could range from chronic hepatitis to any liver cirrhosis, which is leading to the Hepatocellular carcinoma. There have been many mechanisms that are known to play an important role in the HCV-induced HCC.

Currently, it could be seen that there is no presence of vaccine to further prevent the hepatitis C infection, however if the clinical trials are currently underway in the world. However, it is recommended for the vaccinated for the diseases of hepatitis A and hepatitis B.

The HCV RNA tests should have an LLOQ of about 25 IU/mL or even  lower when you would need to assess  the treatment response with DAAs. The LLOQ is  the lowest HCV RNA level that is within linear and an analytically acceptable range of the assay.  While, the LLOD = the lowest level of the  HCV RNA that could be detected ≥95% of the time.
