BK VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the BK VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE Test to detect the presence of the BK virus in your body. This test is essential for individuals with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients or those with HIV/AIDS.
Test Details
The BK virus PCR qualitative test is a laboratory test that uses Real Time PCR to amplify and detect the genetic material (DNA) of the BK virus. It is usually performed on urine or blood samples.
This test helps monitor the viral load and diagnose BK virus-associated diseases, such as hemorrhagic cystitis, nephritis, or ureteral stenosis. It is also used to assess the risk of developing complications in transplant recipients.

Understanding the Test
The BK virus is a common virus that infects most people during childhood and remains dormant in the body. However, in individuals with weakened immune systems, it can reactivate and cause complications.
The PCR qualitative test helps determine whether the BK virus is present in your sample. A positive result indicates the presence of the virus, while a negative result indicates its absence.
It is important to note that this test does not provide information about the viral load or the severity of the infection. Additional tests, such as quantitative PCR or viral culture, may be necessary for further analysis and treatment decisions.
Conclusion
The BK VIRUS PCR QUALITATIVE Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is an essential diagnostic tool for individuals with weakened immune systems. It helps detect the presence of the BK virus and diagnose associated diseases. With a price of 1000.0 AED, this test provides accurate results and helps guide treatment decisions.

| Test Details | The BK virus PCR qualitative test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of the BK virus in a patient’s body. The BK virus is a common virus that infects most people during childhood and remains dormant in the body. However, in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients or those with HIV/AIDS, the virus can reactivate and cause complications. The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test is a highly sensitive and specific method used to amplify and detect the genetic material (DNA) of the BK virus. The qualitative test determines whether the virus is present or not in the patient’s sample. This test is usually performed on urine or blood samples. It is used to monitor the viral load and diagnose BK virus-associated diseases, such as hemorrhagic cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys), or ureteral stenosis (narrowing of the ureter). It is also used to assess the risk of developing BK virus-associated complications in transplant recipients. The results of the BK virus PCR qualitative test are reported as positive or negative. A positive result indicates the presence of the BK virus in the patient’s sample, while a negative result indicates the absence of the virus. It is important to note that the PCR qualitative test does not provide information about the viral load or the severity of the infection. Additional tests, such as quantitative PCR or viral culture, may be necessary to determine the extent of the infection and guide treatment decisions. |
