Overview
HCV-RNA (Quantitative) PCR Test Overview
The HCV-RNA PCR test is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect and measure the amount of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA (genetic material) in the blood. This test is critical for diagnosing an activ...
Risk Assessment
High Viral Load:
Indicates active HCV replication.
Associated with a higher risk of liver damage, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
May suggest a higher likelihood of transmitting the virus to others.
Normal Range
Undetectable:This is considered the goal of antiviral therapy and indicates successful suppression of the virus.
Detected but Not Quantifiable:Low levels of virus may be present, but they are below the test's quantification limit.
Quantifiab...
Interpretation
Undetectable HCV-RNA: Suggests either no active infection or successful treatment.
Low-Level HCV-RNA (e.g., < 800,000 IU/mL):** Active infection, but potentially a favorable response to therapy.
High-Level HCV-RNA (e.g., > 800,000 IU/m...
Sample Type
Blood Sample:A venous blood sample is typically drawn from the patient’s arm, which is then processed to extract RNA for analysis.

Description
This test detects the genetic material of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a blood sample using a technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). It provides quantitative results, measuring the amount of viral RNA present in the bloodstream. The test is sensitive and accurate, aiding in the diagnosis and management of Hepatitis C infection.
