What blood tests are available to check for hepatitis C?
I'm not sure if there is a home test or not for Hepatitis C, but this is not something to be taken lightly. I would HIGHLY recommend that you speak with your physician. A simple blood test can determine if you have Hepatitis. If you have the slightest inclination that you may have Hepatitis, please get tested. Hepatitis C may lay dormant in your liver for decades, and the damage may be done before you have any symptoms.
Does a regular cbc blood test show up hep c?
A regular Complete Blood Count (CBC) test does not specifically test for hepatitis C. The CBC measures various components of blood, such as red and white blood cells and platelets, but it does not include viral tests for hepatitis. To diagnose hepatitis C, specific blood tests that detect antibodies to the virus (anti-HCV) or the presence of the virus itself (HCV RNA) are required. If there are concerns about hepatitis C, a healthcare provider will typically order these specific tests.

Which type of hypatits are spred by exposure of blood?
Hepatitis B, C, and D are types of hepatitis that can be spread through exposure to infected blood. Hepatitis B and C are primarily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, such as sharing needles or through transfusions with contaminated blood. Hepatitis D requires the presence of hepatitis B to replicate and is also spread through blood exposure.
Can chronic Hepatitis C cause a false positive blood alcohol test?
No, when alcohol is tested for in the blood, the lab looks for the specific molecule alcohol, and not liver inflammation. So a person with Hep-C would not test positive for alcohol unless they had ingested alcohol in some form.
