ELISA in the diagnosis of HCV

The usefulness of Rapid test and ELISA in the diagnosis of HCV in haemodialysis patients was analysed. In this study, Immuno Chromatography Test [ICT] rapid test was compared with ELISA for the effective detection of anti-HCV antibodies in patients on haemodialysis. A total of 106 blood samples, from chronic renal disease patients on haemodialysis were taken from the Department of Nephrology, Government Medical College Hospital, for a period of six months from July to December 2011.
