Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, the researchers want to focus on the prevalence of anti-HEV antibodies by a new generation test, direct detection of HEV RNA, and its genotypic analysis in a group of human tissue and cell donors.

Description:

At the Department of Laboratory Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Health Sciences, human tissue and cells from donors will be examined for the assessment of health eligibility and donor selection according to Decree No. 422/2008 Coll. According to the current legislation, the determination of IgG and IgM antibodies against HEV or the HEV RNA method is not part of the standard examination of human tissue and cell donors for the assessment of their health eligibility.
