HEPATITIS C VIRUS – IGM

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) IgM test detects IgM antibodies against HCV, indicating a recent or acute infection. This test is used to diagnose acute hepatitis C infection, guide treatment decisions, and monitor the progression of the disease. A positive result suggests current or recent exposure to the virus and the presence of an active infection. The test is valuable for identifying acute hepatitis C infections, evaluating the effectiveness of antiviral therapy, and implementing preventive measures to reduce the spread of the virus. It provides important information for managing hepatitis C infection and preventing complications.
