Hello!
The doctor would like to answer the question: “What should I do with Anti HCV = reactive 2.51 test results? ” as follows:
The response threshold in the Anti HCV test is 1.0 (COI), That is, the test result > 1.0 is interpreted as the presence of anti-HCV antibodies (Positive).
Your case: Anti HCV = reactive 2.51, is positive. However, the response rate is still low. All HCV tests with results close to the 1.0 threshold should be retested and monitored further. HCV causes acute and chronic hepatitis C. About 30% of infections are able to resolve on their own without the use of drugs.
Your case is not sure whether you are infected or not? If infected, at what stage? You need to repeat Anti HCV test and do more HCV RNA test and need to be monitored further, to have a definite conclusion.
If you still have questions about the current results as well as want to consult and monitor your condition, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health system for a doctor's examination and specific advice. . Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
