* Other tests: may include genotyping, ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase chain reaction (RPA), or other molecular diagnostics tools to determine the specific strain of HCV and monitor treatment response
**步骤4：影像学检查**
* Imaging studies: perform ultrasound、Computed Tomography (CT)或Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans to evaluate liver morphology, detect any signs of cirrhosis or other complications
**步骤5：诊断评估**
* Based on test results and medical history, a diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C can be made
* Differentiated from acute hepatitis C or other liver diseases
**步骤6：治疗选择**
