HBV Hepatitis B Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test
Cost: AED 1200.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HBV Hepatitis B Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test for AED 1200.0. This test measures the amount of hepatitis B virus in a person’s blood and is used to assess the severity of a hepatitis B infection and monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Test Components and Sample Condition
The test requires a sample of whole blood, serum, or plasma. Our laboratory will analyze the sample to determine the viral load.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is received, we aim to deliver the test results within 3 working days. You can choose to receive the report via email within 36 hours or over the phone within 24 hours.
Test Method and Type
The HBV Hepatitis B Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test is performed using the Real Time PCR method. This test specifically measures the viral load of the hepatitis B virus.
Test Department and Doctor
The test is conducted in our Genetics department by a qualified physician.
Pre Test Information
Prior to taking the test, patients are required to sign a consent document. It is also important to bring any clinical history related to the patient’s HBV infection.
Test Details
The HBV Hepatitis B Virus Viral Load Quantitative Test involves drawing a blood sample from the patient. The sample is then analyzed in our laboratory. The viral load is reported as a numerical value, usually expressed as the number of viral copies per milliliter (mL) of blood.
A high viral load indicates a higher level of virus replication, suggesting a more active infection and an increased risk of transmission to others. On the other hand, a low viral load may indicate a less active infection or a successful response to antiviral treatment.
Please note that viral load testing is not typically used as a diagnostic tool for hepatitis B. Diagnosis is usually based on other tests, such as the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) tests.

The HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) viral load quantitative test is a laboratory test that measures the amount of hepatitis B virus in a person’s blood. It is used to assess the severity of a hepatitis B infection and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. The test involves drawing a blood sample from the patient, which is then analyzed in a laboratory. The viral load is reported as a numerical value, typically expressed as the number of viral copies per milliliter (mL) of blood. A high viral load indicates a higher level of virus replication and may suggest a more active infection. It can also be an indicator of increased risk of transmitting the virus to others. On the other hand, a low viral load may indicate a less active infection or successful response to antiviral treatment. The HBV viral load quantitative test is often performed in conjunction with other tests, such as liver function tests and hepatitis B serology, to provide a comprehensive assessment of a person’s hepatitis B status. It is important to note that viral load testing is typically not used as a diagnostic tool for hepatitis B. Diagnosis is usually based on other tests, such as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) tests. |
