Diagnosis of recent or chronic hepatitis C virus infection in symptomatic patients
This test is not offered as a screening or confirmatory test for hepatitis C virus (HCV) for blood, human cells, or tissue donors.
This test profile is not useful for detection or diagnosis of acute HCV, since HCV antibodies may not be detectable until after 2 months following exposure and HCV RNA testing is not performed on specimens with negative anti-HCV screening test results.
This diagnostic test is indicated for testing symptomatic individuals that may or may not have risk factors for a hepatitis C virus infection.

If hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody screen is reactive, then HCV RNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) will be performed at an additional charge.
