HomeLab TestHCV-RNA (Qn.) PCR
Overview
HCV-RNA (Quantitative) PCR Test is used to detect the presence and quantify the amount of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA in the blood. This test is crucial in diagnosing an active HCV infection and in monitoring the effectiveness of antiviral therapy...
Risk Assessment
Positive HCV-RNA indicates an active HCV infection, which can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma if left untreated.Negative HCV-RNA suggests no active infection, though it’s important to note that a person ...
Normal Range
Undetectable or Negative: No HCV RNA detected in the blood. This is considered the normal result, indicating no active infection.Quantifiable Positive Result: If HCV RNA is detected, the result will be expressed in International Units per millilit...
Interpretation of Results
Undetectable/Negative: No HCV RNA detected, indicating no active infection. This could be due to the absence of the virus, successful treatment, or spontaneous clearance of the virus.
Low Viral Load: Generally below 800,000 IU/mL. Indicates a l...

Sample Type
Blood Sample: A blood sample is drawn from a vein, typically in the arm. The blood is then processed to separate the plasma, which is used for the PCR analysis.

Description
The HCV-RNA (Quantitative) PCR test is a laboratory test used to measure the amount of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in a blood sample. It helps in assessing the severity of hepatitis C infection, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and determining the viral load, which refers to the amount of virus present in the blood. The test involves extracting RNA from the blood sample and then amplifying and quantifying the HCV RNA using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results are reported in international units per milliliter (IU/mL) o....
