Frequently Asked Questions

This test detects the presence of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) RNA in the blood using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, indicating an active infection.

It is used to confirm acute hepatitis A infection, especially in immunocompromised patients or when antibody-based tests yield inconclusive results.

A blood sample is collected and processed for RNA extraction. PCR amplification is performed to detect HAV genetic material.

A positive result confirms an active HAV infection, while a negative result suggests no current viral presence.

No special preparations are needed. A routine blood sample is sufficient.
