Description
An HCV genotyping test is a blood test that checks the type of hepatitis C strain present in a person. Hepatitis C is a liver infection that causes swelling and dysfunction of the liver. This condition is caused by the hepatitis C RNA virus. The RNA viruses are of different genotypes. This disease can be spread from one person to another through blood contamination. The Hep C genotype test is a part of hepatitis C

An HCV genotyping test is a blood test that checks the type of hepatitis C strain present in a person. Hepatitis C is a liver infection that causes swelling and dysfunction of the liver. This condition is caused by the hepatitis C RNA virus. The RNA viruses are of different genotypes. This disease can be spread from one person to another through blood contamination. The Hep C genotype test is a part of hepatitis C testing that is crucial for hepatitis C treatment.

An Overview of the HCV Genotyping Test

An HCV genotype test is used to find out the type of hepatitis C virus present in a person. Hepatitis C is a viral infection that damages the liver and affects its ability to perform body functions. The virus enters the liver cells and causes problems. There are six RNA genotypes found for hepatitis C with several subtypes. Three of them are the most common, namely, genotype 1, genotype 2 and genotype 3.

The hep C test is used to determine the right treatment plan for the patient. Early diagnosis of this infection can help to stop the further progression of liver cancer, serious liver disease, and liver cirrhosis. The treatment plan depends on the type and stage of hepatitis C. This test is usually prescribed by the doctor after two other hepatitis C test results are positive, namely, the HCV antibody test and the HCV viral load test. The HCV viral load test is also called the HCV RNA quantitative genotype as it measures the quantity of virus present in the blood. The HCV Lipa genotype assay is used to detect major genotypes of hepatitis C. In this process, biotinylated DNA PCR products are hybridised.

The Hep C RNA genotype test can be booked online from the official website of Max Lab.

When is HCV Genotyping Test Prescribed?

Stomach pain
Ascites
Nausea
Fatigue
Changes in urine colour (dark-colour urine)
Jaundice
East skin bleeding or bruising
Dizziness
Formation of spider-like blood vessels on the skin

There are several risk factors that contribute to the HCV RNA genotype conditions such as:

Healthcare person working in a high-risk environment
A person with HIV
A person who had a tattoo from un-sterile equipment
A person undergoing haemodialysis treatment
A person who has shared diabetes supplies, injections, or any other object that has a chance of passing on blood contamination with an infected person

The hepatitis C virus genotyping test is typically used to diagnose HCV infection or to determine the risk for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

You should take the test if:

You have ever been infected with HCV
You are at high risk for developing HCV (for example, if you have liver cirrhosis)
You want to know if you have the most common form of HCV (genotype 1)
You want to know if you have the most severe form of HCV (genotype 4)
You want to know if you are eligible for a new hepatitis C treatment regimen that could reduce your chance of developing chronic hepatitis C

The normal range for HCV genotyping tests is between 98.2-99.9% accuracy. The accuracy of a test varies depending on the sample size and the type of test being performed.
