Hepatitis A Virus HAV RNA Detection Qualitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) RNA Detection Qualitative Test to detect the presence of the Hepatitis A virus in a patient’s blood or stool sample.
Test Details
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious viral infection that affects the liver. It is primarily transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water. The virus can cause inflammation of the liver and lead to symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice.
The HAV RNA Detection Qualitative Test is based on the detection of the viral RNA (genetic material) in the patient’s sample. The test uses a technique called real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect the viral RNA.
Test Components and Price
The cost of the Hepatitis A Virus HAV RNA Detection Qualitative Test is AED 1300.0. The test can be performed on whole blood, serum, plasma, or stool samples.
Report Delivery
The test report will be delivered within 3 working days via email (36 hours) or phone (24 hours).
Method and Test Type
The Hepatitis A Virus HAV RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a real-time PCR test, which is a highly sensitive and specific method for viral detection.
The test falls under the viral test category and is performed by our skilled physicians in the Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, patients are required to sign a consent document and bring any clinical history related to Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) for the RNA Detection Qualitative Test.
How the Test Works
During the test, the patient’s blood or stool sample is collected and processed in our laboratory. The viral RNA is extracted from the sample and converted into complementary DNA (cDNA) using reverse transcription. The cDNA is then amplified using PCR, which creates multiple copies of the viral RNA if it is present in the sample.
The amplified DNA is then analyzed using various methods such as gel electrophoresis or fluorescent probes to detect the presence of the viral RNA. If the viral RNA is detected, it confirms the presence of the Hepatitis A virus in the patient’s sample.
Benefits of the Test
The HAV RNA Detection Qualitative Test is highly sensitive and specific, allowing for early and accurate diagnosis of Hepatitis A infection. It is especially useful in detecting the virus during the early stages of infection when other diagnostic tests may not be effective.
This test is typically performed in specialized laboratories and requires trained personnel to perform and interpret the results. It is an important tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of Hepatitis A infections, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding patient care and treatment.
