1. PTT
The PTT Test measures the time it takes for blood to clot, assessing the functionality of various clotting factors.
The PTT Test is necessary to diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders, monitor anticoagulant therapy, and evaluate overall clotting function.
No special preparation, such as fasting, is required for the PTT Test. However, inform your doctor about any medications you are taking.
A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm and analyzed in a laboratory to measure the clotting time.
PTT Test results are usually available within a few hours to 24 hours, depending on the laboratory’s workload.
2. HCV RNA
The HCV RNA Test detects and measures the presence of Hepatitis C virus RNA in the blood, indicating an active infection and viral load.
The test is used to confirm Hepatitis C infection, assess viral load, evaluate treatment response, and check for relapse.
No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent health issues.
Results are usually available within 1 to 3 days after the test.
A high viral load indicates a higher quantity of Hepatitis C virus in the blood, suggesting more active infection and potentially more severe disease.
