A member asked:

What does it mean to be antibody ahcv reactive by eciq?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: If you mean antibody to hepatitis C virus detected by ECiQ analyzer, then if the antibody is present, it warrants further testing to look for Hep C nucleic acid to determine if you have active infection of a previous infection that is no longer active. About 80% of the people infected with Hep C develop chronic infection.
