Hepatitis C RNA PCR Qualitative Testing

$329.00

Description:

If you think you're at risk for hepatitis C, a PCR qualitative test can help detect the virus. Hepatitis C is still somewhat of a mystery, but the medical community has determined that the virus is predominantly transferred from person to person through exposure to blood, eliminating casual contact (sharing glasses, hugging, kissing, etc.) as a cause but not ruling out sexual contact as a mode of transfer.

The Hepatitis C virus lives in the liver, causing scars which can lead to serious complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Some demonstrate no symptoms, but common symptoms include:

• Fatigue
• Dark urine
• Joint pain
• Sore muscles
• Itchy skin

The Hepatitis C PCR test uses the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and detection technique to locate the virus for Hepatitis C and is a popular choice for early detection or confirmation testing. The results for this hepatitis test are qualitative. Turnaround time for the Hepatitis C RNA PCR test is typically 5-7 business days.

Incubation Period: The Hepatitis C PCR test can typically detect the virus after a few weeks after a suspected contact or exposure. Some people may be detectable earlier.

Requirements: This hepatitis testing does not have any special requirements.
