Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation, sometimes leading to serious liver damage. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) spreads through contaminated blood. Globally, HCV exists in several distinct forms, known as genotypes. Seven distinct HCV genotypes and more than 67 subtypes have been identified. The most common HCV genotype in the United States is type 1.
Quantitative determination of HCV-RNA can evaluate the viral load and replication activity in patients. It is currently the "gold standard" for evaluating HCV replication. It is a laboratory detection index to help diagnose recessive HCV infection and recessive chronic hepatitis C. effective indicator of development. Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAT) is sensitive to low levels of HCV virus in the body, and can detect low-load viruses, understand the number of viruses in the body, replication level, infectivity, drug treatment effects, formulate treatment strategies, etc., and use them as evaluation indicators , is also the only laboratory detection indicator that can help diagnose occult HCV infection and occult chronic HCV.
1. Sample Type: Serum, Plasma
2. High Accuracy: Effectively quantitatively the content of hepatitis C virus in the sample, and the result meets expectations.
3. Good Specificity: No cross-reaction with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, influenza A virus, Staphylococcus aureus, Epstein-Barr virus, dengue virus, Candida albicans and other pathogens.
4. Real-time Monitoring: The introduction of exogenous internal standards is used to monitor the entire extraction and PCR detection process.
- Diagnosis of acute and chronic HCV infection
- Monitoring HCV viral load
- Guiding treatment decisions
- Identifying drug-resistant mutations
