This test starts with quantitative HCV RNA testing to confirm and measure active hepatitis C infection. When the virus is detected, the lab automatically performs genotyping to identify which of the six major hepatitis C strains is present. This combined information supports treatment planning, since drug selection and duration can vary by genotype.
This test is ordered after a positive HCV antibody to confirm active infection and prepare for antiviral therapy. Sample type is serum or plasma.
