About Hepatitis C RNA Test in Provo
This profile measures hepatitis C virus RNA directly, rather than relying on the immune response that antibody tests detect.
Hepatitis C is a bloodborne virus, and exposure occurs through contact with infected blood or certain bodily fluids. Because antibody production can lag behind infection, RNA testing can reveal the virus earlier in the course of exposure.
The test uses nucleic acid amplification (NAA) to detect viral RNA. A detectable result generally indicates that the virus is present and replicating, while an undetectable result suggests the virus is not currently active.
RNA testing is also used to monitor viral load and to assess whether treatment has cleared the infection. Results are typically interpreted alongside a patient's history and other laboratory findings.
