Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: The Hepatitis C Antibody test determines if you have ever been infected with the HCV virus. Hepatitis C is often "silent" and can cause significant liver damage over many years if left untreated.

What is the HCV Ab Test?

This test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the virus. It is the first step in diagnosing a chronic infection that could lead to liver scarring.

Why get tested?

  • History of blood transfusions or needle exposure.
  • Elevated liver enzymes (ALT/AST) on a routine checkup.
  • General wellness screening for long-term liver health.
