Hepatitis C Virus HCV Qualitative PCR and HCV Genotyping Combo Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Hepatitis C Virus HCV Qualitative PCR and HCV Genotyping combo test for AED 3600.0. This diagnostic test combines two different tests for hepatitis C virus.
Test Details
The Hepatitis C Virus HCV Qualitative PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test is used to detect the presence of HCV RNA (genetic material) in the blood. This highly sensitive test can detect even small amounts of the virus, allowing for early diagnosis of HCV infection. It is often used to confirm the presence of active HCV infection and to monitor the effectiveness of antiviral treatment.
The HCV Genotyping test is used to determine the specific genotype or strain of the HCV virus present in a person’s blood. There are several different genotypes of HCV, and knowing the genotype can help guide treatment decisions. Some genotypes respond better to certain antiviral medications than others, so genotyping can help determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
By combining these two tests, healthcare providers can determine not only if a person is infected with HCV but also the specific genotype of the virus. This information is important for guiding treatment decisions and monitoring the effectiveness of antiviral therapy.
