The HCV IgG Serum Test is performed to detect the presence of IgG antibodies in the body, which are produced to fight against the hepatitis C virus. The HVC IgG Serum Test can help differentiate between positive results and false-positive results for HCV obtained from initial antibody screening tests.
Overview of the HCV IgG Serum Test
The HCV IgG Serum Test is prescribed to confirm the presence of HCV-specific IgG antibodies. When one is infected by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), the antibodies that the body generates to fight the virus are generally undetectable for up to 2 months and become prevalent only after the onset of the infection (may take up to 6 months after being infected). The test detects IgG antibodies in positive anti-HCV samples which helps doctors differentiate between true-positive and false-positive results of initial screening (antibody) tests.
