Which test do I need for hepatitis B and C?
For initial screening, HBsAg (hepatitis B) and anti-HCV (hepatitis C) blood tests are enough. If positive, the specialist assesses the viral load (PCR) and the state of the liver and plans treatment; hepatitis C can now be cured completely with medication.
