Quantitative HCV RNA testing measures the exact viral load in the bloodstream. While the antibody test reveals exposure, quantitative PCR confirms whether the virus is actively replicating and provides a baseline for monitoring treatment response.
This test is used to confirm active hepatitis C after a positive antibody result, establish baseline viral load before starting antivirals, monitor response during treatment, and confirm sustained virologic response (cure) typically 12 weeks after completing therapy. Sample type is serum or plasma.
