JCBK Viral Load Quantitative Test – Cost AED: 1630.0
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the JCBK Viral Load Quantitative Test at a cost of 1630.0 AED. This test is used to measure the amount of JC virus (JCV) or BK virus (BKV) in a patient’s blood or urine.
Test Components and Sample Condition
The JCBK Viral Load Quantitative Test can be performed on whole blood, urine, serum, C.S.F, and biopsies. These samples are collected from the patient and analyzed using molecular techniques, such as Real Time PCR.
Report Delivery
The test results will be delivered within 3rd working day via email (36 hours) or on phone (24 hours).
Test Type and Department
The JCBK Viral Load Quantitative Test falls under the category of Viral tests and is conducted in our Genetics department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, patients are required to sign a Consent document and bring any relevant clinical history for the JC/BK Viral Load Quantitative Test.
Test Details
The JC/BK viral load quantitative test is used to monitor the amount of JC virus (JCV) or BK virus (BKV) in a patient’s blood or urine. These viruses can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. The test involves collecting a sample of blood or urine from the patient and analyzing it using molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to detect and quantify the viral DNA. The results are reported as the number of viral copies per milliliter (mL) of sample.
This test is useful in monitoring the progression of JCV or BKV infections, assessing the effectiveness of antiviral treatments, and guiding clinical management decisions. It can help determine if a patient’s viral load is increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable over time. Elevated viral loads may indicate active viral replication and an increased risk of complications, while declining viral loads may indicate a response to treatment or resolution of the infection.
It is important to interpret the viral load results in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings, as well as the patient’s medical history. Each laboratory may have its own reference range for what is considered a normal or abnormal viral load level.

| Test Details |
The JC/BK viral load quantitative test is a laboratory test used to measure the amount of JC virus (JCV) or BK virus (BKV) in a patient’s blood or urine. These viruses are members of the polyomavirus family and can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing organ transplantation. The test involves collecting a sample of blood or urine from the patient and analyzing it using molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to detect and quantify the viral DNA. The results are reported as the number of viral copies per milliliter (mL) of sample. The JC/BK viral load quantitative test is used to monitor the progression of JCV or BKV infections, assess the effectiveness of antiviral treatments, and guide clinical management decisions. It can help determine if a patient’s viral load is increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable over time. Elevated viral loads may indicate active viral replication and an increased risk of developing complications, such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) for JCV or hemorrhagic cystitis for BKV. Conversely, declining viral loads may indicate a response to treatment or a resolution of the infection. It is important to note that the interpretation of viral load results should be done in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings, as well as the patient’s medical history. Additionally, each laboratory may have its own reference range for what is considered a normal or abnormal viral load level. |
