Title: Hepatitis C Test
Description:
The Hepatitis C Test detects antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) to determine current or past infection. HCV is primarily spread through blood and can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer if left untreated. This test is essential for individuals with liver symptoms, those at high risk due to lifestyle or exposure, and people who have had blood transfusions or shared needles. Early detection is crucial for preventing complications and transmission.
Instructions:
Fasting is not required for this test. A blood sample will be drawn from a vein in your arm by a trained healthcare professional.
