Report Delivery: Sample Tue / Fri by 11 am; Report Thu / Mon
Method: Real Time PCR
Test type: Disorders of Liver
Doctor: Gastroenterologist
Test Department: MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS
Pre Test Information: 12 hours overnight fasting is recommended.
Test Details: The HEPATITIS C VIRAL RNA GENOTYPE test is a diagnostic test that is used to determine the specific genotype of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a patient’s blood. HCV has several different genotypes, with genotype 1 being the most common in the United States. Knowing the genotype of the virus is important for determining the most effective treatment approach, as different genotypes may respond differently to antiviral medications. The test involves analyzing the genetic material (RNA) of the virus in a blood sample to identify the specific genotype.
