Why This Biomarker Matters

Positive HCV antibodies indicate infection with a virus causing liver disease. Confirmation and antiviral treatment can prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Overview

This qualitative test detects the presence or absence of antibodies against hepatitis C virus in blood or other body fluids. A positive result indicates current or past HCV infection and warrants confirmatory testing with HCV RNA to determine if infection is active. Hepatitis C is a serious liver infection that can lead to chronic disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer if untreated. Early detection allows intervention before serious liver damage occurs.
