Hepatitis C Viral RNA Genotype Lipa Test

The Hepatitis C Viral RNA Genotype Lipa Test analyzes RNA to determine the genotype of the hepatitis C virus. Genotyping is essential because HCV strains vary in treatment response and prognosis. This test provides key insights into viral behavior, supports treatment planning, and aids in monitoring patients with chronic hepatitis C, helping guide decisions that impact long-term liver health outcomes.

Clinical Significance

Determination of hepatitis C genotype is often required to select the most appropriate direct acting agent(s) (DAA) for the treatment of hepatitis C. Some DAA's are only effective for the treatment of hepatitis C genotype 1, whereas others may be used for additional genotypes. Refer to the package inserts of the relevant DAA's for guidance.
