What is anti-HCV Eclia?
What is anti-HCV Eclia?
The electrochemiluminescence immunoassay “ECLIA” is intended. for use on the MODULAR ANALYTICS E170 immunoassay analyzer. Elecsys® PreciControl Anti-HCV. Elecsys PreciControl Anti-HCV is used for quality control of the Elecsys Anti-HCV. on the MODULAR ANALYTICS El 70 immunoassay analyzer.
What is the normal range of anti-HCV?
Normal range for this assay is “Not Detected”. The quantitative range of this assay is 10 – 100,000,000 IU/mL (1.0 – 8.0 log IU/mL).
What is anti-HCV quantitative?
The quantitative HCV RNA tests measure the amount of hepatitis C virus in the blood. The result will be an exact number, such as “1,215,422 IU/L.” Many people refer to the quantitative measurement as the hepatitis C “viral load.”
What test confirms HCV?
A blood test, called an HCV antibody test, is used to find out if someone has ever been infected with the hepatitis C virus. The HCV antibody test, sometimes called the anti-HCV test, looks for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus in blood.
What does it mean to be negative for HCV?
Anti HCV is the antibody to chronic hepatitis C that appears after infection and disappears after recovery. Anti HCV negative denotes you are not suffering from hepatitis C infection.
Can a sample be reported as nonreactive for HCV?
Sample can be reported as nonreactive for HCV antibody. No further action required. If recent exposure in person tested is suspected, test for HCV RNA.* A repeatedly reactive result is consistent with current HCV infection, or past HCV infection that has resolved, or biologic false positivity for HCV antibody.
What happens if your hepatitis C antibody test is negative?
The lab will perform this RNA test automatically if your hepatitis C antibody test is positive. If the antibody test result is negative, it means you have not been infected with the hepatitis C virus, and further testing for hepatitis C usually is not needed. Other things to know:
What does repeatedly reactive result for HCV mean?
A repeatedly reactive result is consistent with current HCV infection, or past HCV infection that has resolved, or biologic false positivity for HCV antibody. Test for HCV RNA to identify current infection.
