HCV Total Antibody Test Overview

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the five types of hepatitis virus which causes hepatitis infection. HCV leads to liver damage and inflammation. The disease spreads due to exposure to contaminated blood, such as exposure by sharing personal items, like razors, with the infected person, having sex with an infected person, or sharing needles with intravenous drug users. It can sometimes spread from the mother to a baby during childbirth, though it is less common.

Most people with hepatitis do not notice any symptoms, due to which the disease remains undetected. The infection does not show symptoms until the liver is damaged and affects liver function. The best way to detect the disease is to screen people with high risk.

HCV antibody test is recommended in the following scenario:

  • To screen for hepatitis C infection when you are at high risk for getting the HCV infection.
  • To diagnose hepatitis C when you may have been exposed to the virus, such as through contact with the blood of an infected person.
  • To diagnose hepatitis C when you get any symptoms of liver disease.

HCV total antibody test checks if a person has been infected with the hepatitis C virus. It checks for the presence of HCV antibodies in a person’s blood.

HCV test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.

The normal range for the HCV-Total Antibody test is "not detected". This indicates that you likely have never been infected with the Hepatitis C virus.
