Find Peace of Mind with Accurate Hepatitis E Detection
When you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, jaundice, or digestive issues, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) Qualitative PCR Test provides the definitive answers you need to take control of your health journey. At just ZAR 2,000, this advanced molecular test offers the clarity and confidence that comes from knowing exactly what’s affecting your wellbeing.
Understanding Your Hepatitis E PCR Test
The HEV Qualitative PCR Test is a sophisticated molecular diagnostic tool that detects the genetic material of Hepatitis E virus in your blood sample. Unlike antibody tests that can only show past exposure, our PCR test identifies active, current infection with exceptional accuracy. This means you get clear, actionable results that help your healthcare provider make informed treatment decisions.
Using Real Time PCR technology, we amplify and detect even small amounts of viral RNA, ensuring reliable results you can trust. The test requires just 2ml of blood serum or plasma, collected through a simple blood draw at any of our nationwide collection centres.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or situations, our HEV test could provide crucial answers:
- Unexplained jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
- Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Abdominal pain or discomfort, especially in the upper right area
- Dark urine or pale stools that concern you
- Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite lasting more than a few days
- Recent travel to areas with poor sanitation or known HEV outbreaks
- Consumption of undercooked pork or wild game
- Contact with someone diagnosed with Hepatitis E
- Weakened immune system making you more vulnerable to infections
Many South Africans experience these symptoms but delay testing due to uncertainty. Early detection can prevent complications and guide appropriate treatment.
Why Early HEV Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for Hepatitis E isn’t just about diagnosis—it’s about protecting your long-term health and wellbeing:
- Prevent Liver Damage: Early detection allows for timely intervention to protect your liver from permanent damage
- Guide Treatment Decisions: Accurate results help your doctor choose the most effective treatment approach
- Reduce Transmission Risk: Knowing your status helps prevent spreading the virus to family and community
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate the stress of uncertainty and move forward with confidence
- Monitor Recovery: For those already diagnosed, PCR testing helps track treatment effectiveness
In South Africa, where Hepatitis E outbreaks can occur, being proactive about your liver health is especially important.
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for medical results can be anxiety-provoking. Here’s what to expect:
Positive Result: This indicates active Hepatitis E virus infection. Don’t panic—most healthy adults recover completely from HEV within a few weeks to months. Your doctor will provide specific guidance on managing symptoms, rest, and monitoring your recovery.
Negative Result: This means no Hepatitis E virus was detected in your sample at the time of testing. This is excellent news for your current health status.
All results include clear explanations and are delivered directly to you and your healthcare provider if requested. Our medical team is available to answer any questions about your results.
