Details of HCV Blood Test in Jamshedpur
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. It can present as acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) infection. Approximately 3% of the global population is infected, and the World Health Organization recommends all adults undergo at least one screening.
The Anti-HCV antibody test detects antibodies generated against the virus. A positive result means you have either past exposure or current infection. Further testing — including HCV RNA Quantitative PCR test in Jamshedpur or HCV RNA Qualitative PCR test in Jamshedpur — is often recommended to confirm active infection and measure viral load.
In Jamshedpur, testing labs such as Thyrocare, SRL Diagnostics, Dr. Lal Path Labs, and Pathkind offer both rapid card tests and advanced PCR assays. Home sample collection is available for added convenience.

HCV Testing — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fast for the Anti-HCV or HCV RNA PCR tests?
No. Fasting is not required for Anti-HCV (antibody), HCV RNA Qualitative PCR, HCV RNA Quantitative PCR, or HCV Genotyping tests in Jamshedpur.
What’s the difference between HCV antibody, HCV RNA Qualitative, and HCV RNA Quantitative tests?
Anti-HCV (antibody) screens for past or current exposure.
HCV RNA Qualitative confirms active viremia with a Detected/Not detected result.
HCV RNA Quantitative measures the viral load in IU/mL and log10, used for baseline assessment and monitoring treatment response.
Where can I get an HCV Quantitative RT-PCR test in Jamshedpur?
You can book at Thyrocare Aarogyam Centers in Sakchi, Kadma, and Mango (home collection available citywide). Use WhatsApp +91 70701 77147 or call to schedule.
What is a typical HCV RNA Viral Load report interpretation?
Reports include IU/mL and a log10 value:
Target Not Detected → no measurable virus. Very low values may fall below the linear range and should be correlated clinically. Trends over time (falling, stable, rising) guide therapy decisions.
How quickly will I receive my HCV test report?
Anti-HCV and RNA PCR reports are typically released the same day after the sample reaches the lab. Genotyping usually takes 1–3 working days.
Are the HCV tests performed on accredited platforms?
Yes. Tests run under NABL/CAP aligned workflows with daily IQC and EQAS participation to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Can I book home sample collection for HCV tests in Jamshedpur?
Yes. Home collection is available across Jamshedpur. Tap WhatsApp to Book or call to arrange a doorstep pickup.
