About this test
HCV Antibody testing checks a patient sample for antibodies to Hepatitis C virus. A reactive antibody result indicates exposure may have occurred and may require appropriate follow-up testing to determine current infection status.
Preparation
- No fasting is usually required.
What you'll need
- An appropriate patient sample required by Salem's approved testing method.
What to do / avoid
- No special dietary preparation is usually required. Follow the laboratory's sample collection instructions.
Important notes
A reactive antibody result does not by itself establish current active infection. Additional testing may be required according to clinical guidance.
