Test Overview
HCV infection is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease, accounting for 60-70% of all chronic hepatitis.
Acute HCV infection is often asymptomatic, or associated with non-specific symptoms, and usually goes undiagnosed. However, 60% to 85% of patients develop chronic infection, which is associated with increased risk of cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
