¿Cuál es el Nivel Normal de Hep C Antibody?
El rango normal de Hep C Antibody es Non-Reactive: no hepatitis C antibodies detected. Valores por debajo o por encima de este rango pueden indicar una condición que requiere evaluación adicional.
Tabla de Rangos de Referencia
| Marcador | Bajo | Normal | Alto |
|---|---|---|---|
| HCV antibody | Not applicable — this is a qualitative test | Non-Reactive: no hepatitis C antibodies detected | Reactive: antibodies detected; the lab automatically runs an HCV RNA test on the same sample to determine whether the infection is current |
Qué Afecta los Resultados
Timing after exposure matters most: antibodies typically take 8-11 weeks to become detectable, so a test very soon after a possible exposure can be falsely negative. Antibodies persist for life after a cleared infection, which is why the reflex RNA step is included.
Cuándo Repetir la Prueba
Once for most adults. Repeat after a specific exposure (allowing 8-11 weeks), during each pregnancy, and periodically for people with ongoing risk factors.
