Description

The HCV ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a laboratory test designed to detect antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a person’s blood. This test is widely used for screening individuals for past or current HCV infection due to its high sensitivity and specificity. The ELISA method involves binding HCV antibodies to specific antigens coated on a plate, followed by a detection system that produces a color change, indicating the presence of antibodies. Results typically take several hours to a few days. A positive HCV ELISA result suggests exposure to the virus, necessitating further confirmatory testing to determine active infection and guide treatment decisions.
