What the RNA Panel Measures

Early detection and confirmation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the blood is the purpose of this RNA test. The RNA Panel is analyzed by a licensed laboratory using a standard blood draw. Results for the RNA Panel are reported with reference ranges so each value can be compared to the range the laboratory uses. The RNA Panel focuses on the markers included in its panel, so it reflects those measurements rather than a full health assessment.

Wearing short sleeves and staying hydrated can make the collection for the RNA Panel quicker and more comfortable. The RNA Panel is performed with a standard blood draw collected at a collection site. A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes. Follow the lab's instructions.

Preparing for the RNA Panel

Follow the lab's instructions. Staying hydrated before the collection can make the RNA Panel sample easier to obtain.
