Comprehensive Hepatitis C Testing for Peace of Mind
Living with uncertainty about Hepatitis C exposure or experiencing unexplained fatigue, joint pain, or digestive issues can be overwhelming. We understand the anxiety that comes with potential liver health concerns, which is why our comprehensive HCV Qualitative PCR and Genotyping combo test provides the clarity and direction you need to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Your Hepatitis C Test
This advanced diagnostic package combines two crucial tests in one convenient process. The HCV Qualitative PCR detects whether you currently have an active Hepatitis C infection by identifying the virus’s genetic material in your blood. The HCV Genotyping component goes further by determining exactly which strain of Hepatitis C you have – information that’s essential for choosing the most effective treatment approach.
Using state-of-the-art Real Time PCR and Sanger Sequencing technologies, we ensure the highest level of accuracy and reliability in your results. This isn’t just a simple screening; it’s a comprehensive diagnostic tool that provides the detailed information your healthcare provider needs to create your personalised treatment plan.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have experienced potential Hepatitis C exposure through medical procedures, tattoos, or other means
- Are experiencing persistent fatigue, joint pain, or abdominal discomfort
- Have abnormal liver function test results
- Are planning to start Hepatitis C treatment and need genotype information
- Have a history of intravenous drug use or received blood transfusions before 1992
- Are experiencing jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
- Have been diagnosed with HIV and need comprehensive hepatitis screening
Early detection through this comprehensive testing can prevent serious liver damage, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
