A Comparison of Hepatitis C Antibody Test with Hepatitis C RNA Test for Screening of Cornea Donors 1Scholtz S., 1Sistani F., 2Nachbar I., 1Steinhorst U. H.,
Purpose: Since August 2000 all German cornea banks are according to the law obliged to perform a Hepatitis C RNA test in addition to Hepatitis C antibody test for screening of cornea donors. For this purpose postmortem blood of the donor is being used. Still it is unknown how long after death RNA molecules of the virus could be isolated from the blood. Positive results of this test lead to an exclusion of potential donors. We evaluated the compatibility of the results of these two tests. |
