About ELISA anti-HCV test

Why is the ELISA anti-HCV test done?

The hepatitis C virus is usually asymptomatic. The symptoms typically appear one to three months after contracting the virus.
Symptoms include:

  • Dark yellow coloured urine
  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Grey-colored stools
  • Abdomen and joint pain
  • Vomiting, nausea, or loss of appetite
  • Jaundice, characterized by yellowish skin and eyes.

Hepatitis C testing may be done when the liver test reports are abnormal.

What does the ELISA anti-HCV test measure?

Anti-HCV is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA). It helps in detecting the antibodies of the hepatitis C virus located in the human serum or plasma and also in diagnosing the hepatitis C infection. These HCV antibodies are usually formed in the late convalescent stage, i.e., more than six months after contracting the infection. Blood donors are advised to go for the anti-HCV ELISA test.

Hepatitis C is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV).

The majority of people who get infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) develop a chronic infection. If the proper treatment for the same isn’t received, major health concerns, including liver damage, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc can occur. Sometimes, these issues can even lead to death. Thus, it is vital to get tested for hepatitis C, in order to receive the required therapy, since you might be asymptomatic.

Risks/side effects of ELISA anti-HCV test:

There are no side effects associated with the anti-HCV test. However, you may feel a slight pain in the area from where the blood would be withdrawn. This can last for a few days.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the Elisa anti-HCV test results

Reference Range:
ELISA anti-HCV test’s normal range is “non-reactive”.
This test has a quantitative range of 10 – 100,000,000 IU/ml (1.0 – 8.0 log IU/mL).

RESULT(log IU/Ml) Remarks INTERPRETATION
<1.00 Non-Reactive HCV antibodies absent
>1.00 Reactive HCV antibodies present

A non-reactive or negative antibody test means that you, at this particular time, are not infected with the hepatitis C virus.

A reactive or positive antibody test signifies that you had contracted the hepatitis C infection at some point in your life.

After contracting the hepatitis C virus, one will continue to have the antibodies in his/her blood, even while he/she is being treated or has recovered from the infection.

A confirmatory test might be required if your ELISA anti-HCV test comes out as positive.

An HCV RNA test can be done to measure the amount of Hepatitis C virus present in the blood.

Comments:

1. False-positive results are seen in cases of autoimmunity, rheumatoid factor, hypergammaglobulinemia, paraproteinemia, passive antibody transfer, anti-idiotypes, and anti-superoxide dismutase.

2. False-negative results are also seen in cases of early acute infection, immunosuppression, and immune-incompetence.

3. HCV RNA PCR can be used to track the progress of the infection.

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
