Service Providers for HCV-RNA (Qn.) PCR
HCV-RNA (Qn.) PCR is a blood test used to detect and quantify the amount of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA (genetic material) in the bloodstream. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology amplifies the viral RNA to measure its concentration, helping determine the level of viral replication. This test is essential for diagnosing chronic hepatitis C, assessing the severity of the infection, and monitoring the effectiveness of antiviral treatments. A higher HCV-RNA level indicates more active viral replication. It is often used to guide treatment decisions and assess the risk of liver damage.
