Rs.5,500.00
SKU TEST-0080
Overview:
The HBV Detection by Real-Time PCR (Qualitative) test is a highly sensitive molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA in the blood. It uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to amplify and measure the viral DNA. The "qualitative" aspect of the test simply confirms whether or not the virus is present, without quantifying the amount of viral load.
What it detects:
This test detects the genetic material (DNA) of Hepatitis B Virus in the blood. A positive result indicates that the individual is infected with HBV, even if they are asymptomatic. It is used for diagnosing active infection, monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, and assessing chronic infection.
Who should get it:
Individuals who have been exposed to Hepatitis B, those with symptoms of Hepatitis B, individuals at high risk (such as those with unprotected sex, intravenous drug users, or healthcare workers), and people with chronic liver disease should consider this test. It is also used for monitoring patients undergoing antiviral treatment for Hepatitis B.
