About Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) – Total Antibody (CLIA)

A blood test, Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Total Antibody Test, measures antibody activity in the blood produced by the body's immune system as a response to infection with the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). Typically, these antibodies will begin to form within a week or so of infection and stay present after recovery.

This is a screening test for persons who may be exposed to Hepatitis C and may be the first test ordered if people are suspected to have Hepatitis C infection. If positive, your physician may order an HCV RNA (PCR) test to determine if the virus is now active.

What is the HCV Total Antibody (CLIA) Test?

Hepatitis C Virus Total Antibody (CLIA) Test is a blood test to detect antibodies that are highly sensitive to detect the presence of antibodies in a blood sample that react with HCV. This test does not actually measure the virus but rather tests to see if an individual has had contact with Hepatitis C at some time in their life.

Common Reasons for an HCV Total Antibody Test

• Routine Hepatitis C screening
• Evaluation of abnormal liver function tests
• Screening before blood donation or surgery
• Assessment of individuals with risk factors for HCV infection
• Evaluation of chronic liver disease
• Screening of healthcare workers after accidental needle-stick injury
• Monitoring individuals with a history of HCV exposure
• Prenatal screening when recommended by the doctor

Conditions Evaluated with the HCV Total Antibody Test

Hepatitis C Virus Infection

Detects previous or current exposure to the Hepatitis C Virus.

Chronic Hepatitis C

Supports the diagnosis of long-term HCV infection when followed by confirmatory testing.

Liver Disease

Helps identify Hepatitis C as a possible cause of chronic liver inflammation or liver damage.

High-Risk Exposure

Evaluates individuals with a history of blood transfusion, intravenous drug use, or occupational exposure.

Who Should Consider an HCV Total Antibody Test?

Your doctor may recommend this test if you:

• Have abnormal liver enzyme levels
• Have received blood transfusions before routine HCV screening was introduced
• Have a history of intravenous drug use
• Have been exposed to infected blood
• Are a healthcare worker with accidental blood exposure
• Have chronic liver disease
• Are undergoing routine health screening
• Have symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, or dark urine
