Hi doctor! I went to do a blood biochemical test for hepatitis C, the result showed that the auto-immune HCV index was 4.07 (Reactive).

HCV infection has become a global health problem with an estimated 175 million people chronically infected and more than 4 million new cases each year. Many of those infected are asymptomatic and unaware of the condition. Acute HCV infection may cause few, mild, nonspecific symptoms, and chronic infections may remain dormant for a decade or two before causing enough liver damage to affect liver function. Therefore, the development of the automated HCV Ab immunoassay will screen and help in early diagnosis and timely treatment.
