What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you've been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and are getting ready to start treatment. It helps establish a starting point for your liver, kidney, and overall health before therapy begins, so any changes during treatment can be tracked accurately. It also helps spot any underlying health issues that could affect how you respond to therapy.

How should I prepare for this test?

See the pre-collection instructions on your order confirmation.

What's included in this test?

This panel covers markers that reflect how your liver and kidneys are functioning, your blood cell counts, and other general health indicators. These are checked together because Hepatitis C and its treatment can affect the liver directly and put extra strain on other organs, so having a full baseline picture matters. Knowing where these values start out makes it much easier to tell if therapy is causing any changes later on.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each value explained alongside its normal range, so you can see exactly where you stand before starting therapy. Based on what your results show, next steps might include adjusting your diet, avoiding alcohol, or simply keeping the results on file to compare once treatment starts. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and use the trends feature to track changes in your levels over the course of treatment.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Once ready, they'll be uploaded directly to your secure online account, where you can view, download, and track them over time.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and is preparing to start treatment should consider this panel. It's also useful for people who want a clear baseline snapshot of their liver, kidney, and blood health before making any treatment decisions. If you're managing Hepatitis C long-term, having this baseline data can help you and anyone tracking your care spot changes early.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Fatigue, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, abdominal discomfort, or a known Hepatitis C diagnosis are all reasons to consider this panel. Even without obvious symptoms, if you've tested positive for Hepatitis C, getting baseline labs before treatment is a standard step. Unexplained tiredness or digestive changes alongside a Hepatitis C diagnosis are also worth checking out with this panel.

How can I naturally support liver health during this process?

Cutting out alcohol completely is one of the most effective steps you can take, since alcohol adds extra strain to a liver already dealing with Hepatitis C. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains, while limiting processed and fatty foods, also helps. Staying hydrated, getting regular light exercise, and avoiding unnecessary medications or supplements that are hard on the liver can further support your overall health during this time.

What does an abnormal liver value mean in this panel?

An abnormal liver value usually means your liver is under more stress than expected, which can happen with active Hepatitis C or other contributing factors like alcohol use or certain medications. It doesn't automatically mean something is seriously wrong, but it's a signal worth paying attention to. Simple steps like cutting alcohol, eating liver-friendly foods, and retesting to see if the trend improves are good first moves.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency really depends on where you are in your treatment journey, but many people recheck these values every few months while on therapy to track progress. If you're just starting out, having this baseline now makes future comparisons much more meaningful. Using the trends feature after each retest makes it easy to see whether your numbers are moving in the right direction.
