How to use hepatitis C diagnostic kit

Hepatitis C, also known as HCV-C, is a viral hepatitis caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus. Diagnostic kits generally refer to hepatitis C antibody detection kits, which are auxiliary diagnostic methods. The method of using hepatitis C antibody detection kits includes fasting in the morning, disinfecting the test subject, collecting blood samples, and adding antigens and antibodies for testing.

1. Early morning fasting examination: The examinee should collect blood on an empty stomach in the early morning. At this time, the accuracy of the hepatitis C virus antibody detection kit in the blood is high, which can assist in the examination of hepatitis C.

2. Disinfection of the examinee: The examinee's skin needs to be disinfected and covered with sterile gloves. After use, alcohol can be used to disinfect the blood collection site.

3. Collect blood samples: After blood collection, the subject needs to be centrifuged in a timely manner. After centrifugation, the blood sample is placed in 10ml of sealed buffer solution, thoroughly mixed, and centrifuged. At this time, the blood sample can be collected under sterile operation.

4. Add antigen and antibody detection: Take an appropriate amount of antibody detection kit, lyse and dilute it, add the antigen to the small bottle, and observe the results after 30 minutes of antigen antibody reaction.

In addition to the above methods, the nucleic acid test for hepatitis C virus also needs to be performed. The principle is to determine the presence of hepatitis C virus by detecting the hepatitis C virus nucleic acid in the urine of the tested person. Hepatitis C patients can be treated with recombinant human interferon alpha 1b for injection under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, they should avoid drinking alcohol, staying up late, and fatigue, and exercise appropriately, which is beneficial for disease recovery.
