Hepatitis C RNA PCR Test - Qualitative Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA PCR Test

Qualitative molecular test using Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (Real-Time PCR) technique to detect RNA of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in serum. Considered basic standard for confirming active virus infection, as it detects virus itself early in infection before antibody appearance, and used to assess treatment response.
