Test Details
Hepatitis-B Virus (HBV) Quantitative PCR is a laboratory test used to measure the amount of HBV DNA in a person’s blood. It is a sensitive and specific test that can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of HBV infection.
The test involves extracting viral DNA from a blood sample and amplifying it using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified DNA is then quantified using fluorescent probes or other detection methods.
HBV Quantitative PCR can provide information about the viral load, which is the amount of HBV DNA present in the blood. Monitoring the viral load is important in assessing the severity of the infection, predicting the progression of the disease, and evaluating the response to antiviral treatment.
The results of the test are reported as the number of HBV DNA copies per milliliter (ml) of blood. A high viral load indicates active replication of the virus and may suggest a higher risk of liver damage and disease progression. On the other hand, a low viral load may indicate a controlled infection or response to treatment.
In addition to diagnosis and monitoring, HBV Quantitative PCR can also be used to assess the risk of transmission from an infected mother to her newborn, evaluate the need for antiviral therapy, and detect drug resistance mutations in the viral genome.
It is important to note that HBV Quantitative PCR is just one of several tests used in the diagnosis and management of HBV infection. It should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings to guide patient care.
