Why Is HCV ELISA Important?

Worldwide screening for HCV is considered a standard practice because hepatitis C often goes unnoticed during the patient’s lifetime. A person with the virus may remain asymptomatic for a long time, but gradually the liver gets hurt. The HCV antibody ELISA test is significantly involved in:

• Early Detection: Recognizing those who have been HCV-infected previously so that they can be connected with further testing and care.
  
  
• Blood Donor Screening: Protecting blood supplies by checking blood donations for the presence of HCV antibodies.
  
  
• Epidemiological Surveillance: Enabling the health officials to get a better understanding of HCV distribution in the population.
  
  
• Clinical Decision-Making: Allowing for early medical intervention, monitoring, and proper treatment planning.
  
  

Moreover, this test is recognized worldwide and it is the first option screening method for hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and blood banks, as well as in community health settings.

Limitations and Follow-Up Testing

In spite of the fact that HCV ELISA is very sensitive and effective for the screening of HCV, it can only detect antibodies and not the virus. So, a positive result means that the individual has been exposed to HCV at some time, however, it does not reveal if the infection is active or if it is a past infection. For this reason, confirmatory testing — usually with HCV RNA (PCR) — is suggested for the accurate diagnosis of an ongoing infection.
