He based this assumption on the fact that there are only a limited number of lines in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom and his belief that these lines were the result of light being emitted or absorbed as an electron moved from one orbit to another in the atom.
Screening for hepatitis C begins with a blood test that checks for the presence of HCV antibodies. HCV antibodies indicate the presence of the hepatitis C virus. If no HCV antibodies are found, the test result is considered to be âHCV antibody nonreactive.â No further testing or actions are required.However, if you feel strongly that you might have been exposed to HCV, another test may be ordered.he test for hepatitis C antibodies, as well as follow-up blood tests, can be done in most labs that perform routine blood work. A regular blood sample will be taken and analyzed. No special steps, such as fasting, are needed on your part.
When your doctor wants to test you for hepatitis C, the first test you will have is the hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV). If this test is positive, it means you were infected with the hepatitis C virus at some point in the past.But this test alone is not enough.You will still need another test (called HCV RNA) to confirm if you still have the hepatitis C virus in your system.f these RNA tests are all negative, then you no longer have hepatitis C infection and do not have chronic hepatitis C. If your hepatitis C antibody test is positive, be sure that you get tested for hepatitis C RNA to find out whether the infection has become chronic or whether it has cleared.
