HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, the leading genetic lab in the UAE. We offer the HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO test at a cost of AED 1920.0. This test is used to detect the presence of antibodies and antigens related to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and is commonly used for screening and diagnosing hepatitis C infection.
Test Details
The HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO test is a blood test that is performed by taking a blood sample from the patient and analyzing it in our laboratory. The blood sample is tested for the presence of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to HCV infection, as well as antigens, which are proteins produced by the virus itself. If the test detects the presence of HCV antibodies and antigens, it indicates that the person has been infected with the hepatitis C virus.
It’s important to note that the HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO test is not a definitive diagnosis of hepatitis C infection. Additional tests, such as a viral load test, may be necessary to confirm the presence of the virus and monitor the progression of the disease.
Test Components
- HCV RNA Quantitative Real Time PCR
- HCV Genotype
Price
The cost of the HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO test is AED 1920.0.
Sample Condition
For this test, we require a 6 mL (4 mL min.) serum from 2 SSTs OR 6 mL (4 mL min.) plasma from 2 Lavender Top (EDTA) tubes. The serum or plasma should be separated aseptically within 2 hours of collection and shipped refrigerated or frozen. We recommend a 12-hour fasting period prior to the test.
Report Delivery
Sample collection is available on Tuesdays and Fridays by 11 am, and the report will be delivered on Thursdays and Mondays.
Method
The HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO test is performed using Real Time PCR technology.
Test Type
The HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO test falls under the category of Disorders of Liver.
Doctor
The test is usually recommended by a Gastroenterologist.
Test Department
The HEPATITIS C VIRAL COMBO test is conducted in our Molecular Diagnostics department.
Pre Test Information
We recommend a 12-hour fasting period prior to the test.
