Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Antibody Test
Check Your Liver Health: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Antibody Test
The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Antibody Test is an essential diagnostic tool used to detect exposure to the Hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver and can lead to both acute and chronic liver diseases. This test detects antibodies produced by your immune system in response to HCV, indicating whether you’ve been exposed to the virus.
While a positive HCV Antibody Test confirms exposure, further tests like the HCV RNA test are required to determine if the infection is active. Identifying HCV early allows for timely treatment and management, significantly improving liver health outcomes.
