Confirmation of serological reactive tests may be done by a nucleic acid test (NAT) for detection of HCV RNA. Recent studies have also suggested that higher the anti-HCV antibody titer in patient's serum; more are the chances of it being true positive than false positive.

This guideline on testing for and diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection was developed by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute (NYSDOH AI) to guide primary care providers and other practitioners in New York State in identifying individuals with chronic HCV infection for treatment.
15 sie 2019 · The viral load of hepatitis C refers to the amount of virus present in the bloodstream. The quantitative HCV RNA tests measure the amount of hepatitis C virus in the blood. The result will be an exact number, such as "1,215,422 IU/L."
The new generation of quantitative and qualitative assays for HCV RNA NAT assays have the same LoD, which is around 15 IU/mL. However, quantitative assays are a reproducible method to detect and quantify HCV RNA in plasma or serum.
30 kwi 2020 · We have developed a fully automated microfluidic RT-qPCR system for rapid quantitative detection of HCV RNA in human EDTA-plasma and serum, and the performance of the method was assessed.
19 lip 2020 · The HCV RNA PCR test can confirm whether you have the hepatitis C virus in your blood. Discover the types of tests, what the results mean, and more.
Since 2013, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all specimens that are HCV antibody reactive should be tested using a NAT to detect HCV RNA in order to confirm current HCV infection.
