ANTI-HEPATITIES C VIRUS (HCV)-BY CARD Detail

The Anti-Hepatitis C Virus (Anti-HCV) Card Test is a rapid immunochromatographic assay used for the qualitative detection of antibodies to Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human serum, plasma, or whole blood. The presence of these antibodies suggests current or previous exposure to HCV.

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver and can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer if left untreated. The Anti-HCV test does not detect the virus itself but identifies the body’s immune response to it.
