The Hepatitis C Virus RNA PCR (Quantitative) test is a highly sensitive molecular diagnostic assay that detects and quantifies the genetic material (RNA) of the Hepatitis C virus in blood. It directly measures viral load, usually reported in IU/mL, and confirms whether the virus is actively replicating.
This test is essential for confirming active HCV infection, assessing disease severity, deciding when to start antiviral therapy, and monitoring response to treatment. Unlike HCV antibody tests, which only indicate exposure, HCV RNA PCR confirms current infection and helps evaluate treatment success, including sustained virologic response (SVR).
