Anti-HCV in West Hospital
About the clinic
The Anti-HCV (Hepatitis C antibody test) at West Hospital in Baku, Azerbaijan, detects the presence of antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus in the blood. This screening typically costs around $110 for a rapid card test or approximately $200 for an ELISA method. The clinic features an on-site laboratory to provide express testing and rapid results.
Diagnostic Options and Methods
Patients can choose between two primary methods for identifying Hepatitis C antibodies. The rapid card test serves as a fast screening option. The ELISA (İFA) method provides higher sensitivity for confirming the presence of antibodies. Both tests require a standard blood draw performed in an outpatient setting.
Testing Features at West Hospital
- Blood sample collection. Conducted by trained laboratory staff in a dedicated outpatient area.
- Rapid card test. A quick screening method that may cost around $110.
- ELISA (İFA) method. A more sensitive laboratory analysis that typically runs $200.
- On-site centralized laboratory. Processes all samples internally to avoid delays from outsourcing.
- Express testing. Available for patients who need their results faster than the standard processing time.

West Hospital operates its own laboratory facilities, which allows for short processing times for infectious disease screenings. The clinic provides the results in both physical and electronic formats for convenient access. These tests check only for the body's immune response to the virus.
