A member asked:
Does a weak or moderate hemolysis (of blood serum) have any effect on qualtative hcv rt-pcr test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HCV test: Hemolysis should not affect the hcv pcr test. You should still get an accurate viral load count. Of course it will affect the rbc, mcv, hmc, and other labs concerning the red blood cells.
