Diagnosis of Hepatitis C primarily involves blood tests. The initial test is typically an antibody test (anti-HCV) to detect antibodies against the virus. If this test is positive, a follow-up test, such as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, is conducted to measure the viral load and confirm active infection. Additional tests may include genotyping to determine the specific strain of the virus and assess treatment options.
