What is PCR for Hepatitis B for viral load?
Hepatitis B virus is one of the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. HBV is a DNA virus that is transmitted primarily through blood exposure and sexual contact and from mothers to their children.
HBV DNA PCR quantitative is a laboratory test that uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to measure the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in a blood sample. The test provides a quantitative measurement of the viral load, which is useful for monitoring disease progression and determining the effectiveness of antiviral therapy.
Reported Parameters
- Normal range for this assay is “Not Detected”
- The quantitative range of this assay is 1.00-9.00 log IU/mL (10-1,000,000,000 IU/mL)
