  2. Hepatitis C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_C

    Still, newer methods include an antibody test for the virus' core protein and the detection of the viral genome after first concentrating the viral particles by ultracentrifugation. [44] A form of infection with persistently moderately elevated serum liver enzymes but without antibodies to hepatitis C has also been reported. [45]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCV_in_children_and_pregnancy

    In children born to hepatitis C virus antibody positive but hepatitis C virus RNA negative mothers, the alanine aminotransferase and hepatitis C virus antibodies should be investigated at 18-24 months of life. If both the alanine aminotransferase value is normal and hepatitis C virus antibody is not found, follow up should be interrupted.

  5. Antinuclear antibody - Wikipedia

    Depending on the antibody present in the human serum and the localisation of the antigen in the cell, distinct patterns of fluorescence will be seen on the HEp-2 cells. [51] [52] Levels of antibodies are analysed by performing dilutions on blood serum. An ANA test is considered positive if fluorescence is seen at a titre of 1:40/1:80.

  6. Seroconversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seroconversion

    The standard serology panel for seroconversion include hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B surface antibody for IgM and IgG, hepatitis B core antibody for IgM and IgG, and hepatitis B e-antigen. [61] In the typical disease course for hepatitis B, [62] the individual will first seroconvert for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).

  7. Hepatitis C virus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatitis_C_virus

    The hepatitis C virus (HCV) [3] is a small (55–65 nm in size), enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae. The hepatitis C virus is the cause of hepatitis C and some cancers such as liver cancer ( hepatocellular carcinoma , abbreviated HCC) and lymphomas in humans.

    To do this, antibodies that are specific to different types of viruses are mixed with the tissue sample. After the tissue is exposed to a specific wavelength of light or a chemical that allows the antibody to be visualized. [citation needed] These tests require specialized antibodies that are produced and purchased from commercial companies.

  9. FibroTest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FibroTest

    FibroTest has been evaluated in relation to liver biopsy (the current reference standard in liver disease assessment) in people with hepatitis C, hepatitis B, [1] alcoholic liver disease, [2] and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. [3] They are most useful for cirrhosis and less useful for other stages of liver disease. [4]
