The anti-HCV IgM is an antibody test that is performed to detect whether a person has been infected with the hepatitis C virus earlier.

When is the Anti-HCV IgM Test Performed

One is generally suggested to book an anti-HCV IgM test to screen for chronic or resolved HCV. The antibodies that the test checks for generally appear in the infection’s late convalescent stage, which is generally after more than 6 months after the onset of the infection. A regular IgM antibody response to the virus is found in almost all patients with acute HCV, but rarely precedes the production of IgG antibodies. Apart from a regular health check, an anti-HCV test can also be prescribed in case of suspected exposure to the virus as screening.

Instead of a normal range, the anti-HCV IgM test generally provides a positive or negative result. Whereas a non-reactive test result generally means that the person is not at present infected with HCV, a reactive or positive anti-HCV test result means that the person has been infected with the virus at least once. After getting infected with the hepatitis C virus, whether they have cleared it, have been cured, or still have the virus, they will always have IgM antibodies in their blood.

Some of the risk factors that may increase one’s chance of contracting the virus include:

Using shared needles.
Having an HIV infection.
Having undergone haemodialysis for filtering the blood.
An organ transplant or blood transfusion.
Having been treated for a bleeding disorder earlier.
Being born to a mother with HIV.
Engaging in unprotected sex.

Time Required for Anti-HCV IgM Test Reports + Next Steps

Instead of a simple “anti-HCV IgM test near me”, it is best to put one’s faith in a NABL-accredited diagnostics centre, like Max Lab, where apart from a competitive cost for an anti-HCV test, individuals also get benefits like at-home sample collection, report generation within 24 hours of sample collection, online report availability, and the facility to book an anti-HCV IgM test online.

As a reactive result for the anti-HCV doesn’t necessarily indicate a current hepatitis C infection, it is necessary to consult a doctor with the test results, so the relevant follow-up tests may be prescribed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

An anti-HCV IgM test is a blood test used to detect antibodies against HCV. HCV is a virus that can cause liver cancer. The anti-HCV IgM test is able to identify people who may have been infected with hepatitis C, but have not developed symptoms yet.

The purpose of getting an anti-HCV IgM test is to determine if the person has contracted HCV. The test is used as part of a screening process for HCV, and can help identify people who may be at risk for developing the virus. People who are infected with HCV may not show any signs or symptoms, which means they could be unaware that they have the virus.

However, some general guidelines for when you might want to consider an Anti HCV IgM test include:

If you have had an acute hepatitis C infection (a hepatitis C virus that has lasted more than six months) and your liver function tests (LFTs) have been positive for at least two weeks.
If you are experiencing symptoms of hepatitis C, such as fever, fatigue, jaundice, and diarrhea.
If your doctor suspects that you may have contracted hepatitis C from a person who is infected with the virus.

The normal range of Anti HCV IgM Test is typically between 0 and 1000 IU/ml.

First, it is important to remember that the anti HCV IgM test is not 100% accurate and can sometimes give false positive results. This means that a person could actually have hepatitis C virus infection without having any signs or symptoms of the virus. Therefore, it is important to always consult with your doctor if you are considering taking this type of test. Additionally, you should avoid any potential stressors or activity that could cause irritation or inflammation of the skin, eyes or nose right before taking the test. Finally, be sure to drink plenty of water before and after taking the test so that your urine doesn't become diluted.

There is no evidence that fasting is required before an anti HCV IgM test.

Yes, home sample collection is available for the Anti HCV IgM Test.
