What it measures
Viral Hepatitis
Clinical significance
The diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection currently relies on the detection of antibody to HCV (anti-HCV). However, anti-HCV positivity may indicate past infection, current infection or possibly non-specific reactivity.
Normal range for this assay is "Not Detected." The quantitative range of this assay is 10 -100,000,000 IU/mL (1.0 -8.0 log IU/mL).
What is the most accurate test for HCV?
The HCV Ab test is used for initial screening for hepatitis C. The test is performed by enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), which detect the presence of hepatitis C antibodies in serum. The result of the test is reported as positive or negative. Third-generation EIAs have a sensitivity/specificity of approximately 99%.
Why do I have hep C antibodies but no virus?
You can still test positive for hepatitis C antibodies, but not have an active case of hepatitis C. In certain cases, your body can completely clear the virus on its own. You will need a second test, called an RNA or viral load test, to see whether hepatitis C is active in your body.
Real ratings and reviews from the Healsens app on the App Store and Google Play.
That's when I turned to a nutritionist and ordered a blood test through Healsens. … Four months later, I retested. My biological age dropped to 24—nearly a decade younger than my real age.
Read on App Store →It helps me track main parameters, understanding what do they mean and correlations, and make critical analysis to make preventative changes. Hope too see new fichas soon!
Read on App Store →Everything is great! Excellent app! It's very convenient for storing all your test results! The only thing I wish was that you could record blood pressure readings for both arms, as this is sometimes important for blood pressure monitoring.
Read on Google Play →A useful app. It motivates me to lead a healthy lifestyle and monitor my diet. After the test results, I decided to change my diet – I cut out flour and chocolate. I lost 2 kg in about a week. We'll see how the test results look over time.
