Hepatitis C Virus HCV Antibody

This test measures the level of hepatitis C antibodies.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that all positive antibody tests be followed by an HCV RNA tests, which measures the level of virus in RNA to confirm the screening test and to distinguish between an active and previous infection.¹
