About test
What does ANTI HEPATITIS C VIRUS (ANTI HCV) - TOTAL measure?
This test detects total antibodies against the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It may be used to help identify whether a person has been exposed to HCV in the past or may have a current infection. Healthcare professionals may order it for people with liver-related symptoms, abnormal liver tests, possible exposure to infected blood, or other risk factors. A positive antibody result does not by itself confirm active infection and may need follow-up testing.
