Order Hepatitis C RNA TestThe Hepatitis C RNA Test detects the genetic material of the hepatitis C virus in a blood sample. It is used to identify active infection and to monitor viral levels after a known exposure or a positive antibody result.
About Hepatitis C RNA Test in Davis
The Hepatitis C RNA Test is a molecular assay that looks for the virus itself rather than the body's immune response to it.
Hepatitis C is a bloodborne virus that can establish a chronic infection. Antibody tests show whether a person has ever been exposed, but they cannot distinguish a past, cleared infection from a current one. RNA testing resolves that question by detecting viral genetic material directly.
The test uses nucleic acid amplification, often called NAA, to find small quantities of HCV RNA in the blood. Because it can detect the virus before antibodies appear, it is useful for early detection after a suspected exposure. It is also the standard method for confirming an active infection when an antibody screen is reactive.
Results are typically reported as detected or not detected, and quantitative versions measure the viral load. A not-detected result generally means the virus is not present in the sample, while a detected result indicates active infection. Clinicians interpret these findings alongside the patient's history and other laboratory work.
