Hepatitis C Viral RNA (HCV RNA) Qualitative PCR

• The Hepatitis C Viral RNA (HCV RNA) Qualitative PCR Test is a diagnostic procedure that detects the presence or absence of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in the bloodstream
• This Hepatitis C Viral RNA (HCV RNA) Qualitative PCR Test employs Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to amplify and identify specific regions of HCV RNA, providing qualitative results indicating the virus's presence

• Hepatitis C Viral RNA (HCV RNA) Qualitative PCR Test diagnosing an active Hepatitis C infection
• Hepatitis C Viral RNA (HCV RNA) Qualitative PCR Test confirming HCV infection in individuals with positive antibody tests
• Hepatitis C Viral RNA (HCV RNA) Qualitative PCR Test assessing the need for further testing and treatment

• Collection of a blood sample from a vein in the arm
• Laboratory analysis using PCR technology to detect the presence of HCV RNA

• Positive Result: Indicates the presence of HCV RNA in the bloodstream, confirming active Hepatitis C infection
• Negative Result: Indicates the absence of detectable HCV RNA, suggesting no active infection or levels below the test's detection limit

• Positive Result: Confirms the presence of an active Hepatitis C infection
• Negative Result: Suggests no detectable HCV RNA, indicating no active infection or levels below the test's detection limit
