Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver. The virus spreads through contaminated blood and can lead to serious liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver failure if left untreated. The good news is that hepatitis C can be cured with proper treatment. The HCV RNA Qualitative test is an important tool in the diagnosis of this condition. This test helps to detect the presence of the hepatitis C virus in the blood.
Symptoms of Hepatitis C
Symptoms of Hepatitis C can range from mild to severe and may not become apparent until many years after infection. Some common symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Joint pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal pain
- Dark urine
- Clay-colored stool
- Jaundice
Test Procedure
The HCV RNA Qualitative test requires a blood sample from the patient. This can be done at any Apollo 24|7 clinic or hospital. The patient’s arm will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution, and a healthcare professional will draw a small amount of blood from the vein using a needle. The process is quick, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
The collected blood sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis. In the laboratory, the HCV RNA Qualitative test is performed to detect the presence of the hepatitis C virus in the blood. This test uses a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect small amounts of genetic material (RNA) from the virus.
Positive Diagnosis
If a patient receives a positive HCV RNA Qualitative test result, it means that the hepatitis C virus is present in their blood. This does not necessarily mean that they have chronic hepatitis C. Further testing is required to determine if the infection is acute or chronic. If the infection is chronic, treatment options include antiviral medications that can cure the infection and prevent liver damage.
