Getein Anti-HCV Fast Test Kit is used as an aid in the clinical diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of hepatitis C.
Intended Use
The Anti-HCV Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay) is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody in serum or plasma samples.
About Anti-HCV
HCV is spherical, less than 80 nm in diameter (36 to 40 nm in hepatocytes, 36-62 nm in blood). It is a single-stranded, positive-strand RNA virus, surrounded by a lipid-containing capsule in the nucleocapsid. Hepatitis C is a viral infection caused by HCV, primarily transmitted through blood transfusion, acupuncture, and drug use. Hepatitis C is globally prevalent and can cause chronic inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis in the liver. In severe cases, it may progress to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma, significantly impacting patient health and survival. The mortality rate associated with HCV infection (due to liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma) is expected to rise over the next 20 years.
Due to HCV's high variability, no effective vaccine is currently available for hepatitis C. Preventing and controlling the spread of HCV is critical, and HCV antibody testing is one of the most essential diagnostic tools for detecting hepatitis C.
