Anti-HCV (Hepatitis C Antibody) detects antibodies produced against Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
| Reference Range | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Negative / Non-reactive | qualitative | Non-reactive = no HCV antibodies |
Also reported in: S/CO ratio.
Common Causes of High Anti-HCV
Active chronic Hepatitis C infection (most common)Resolved past HCV infection (antibody persists lifelong after clearance)Successfully treated HCV (Anti-HCV remains positive even after cure — confirms by undetectable HCV RNA)
Common Causes of Low Anti-HCV
Immunosuppressed patients may fail to develop Anti-HCV despite active HCV infection — use HCV RNA PCR directly in high-risk immunocompromised patientsEarly acute HCV infection (within 6–12 weeks of exposure) may be Anti-HCV negative — window period
