HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV) QUALITATIVE PCR

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) qualitative PCR test detects the presence of HBV DNA in the blood, indicating an active hepatitis B infection. This test is used to diagnose hepatitis B, assess the level of viral replication, and guide treatment decisions. A positive result suggests an active infection and the potential to transmit the virus. The test is valuable for evaluating the effectiveness of antiviral therapy, monitoring the progression of the disease, and implementing preventive measures to reduce the spread of the virus. It provides important information for managing hepatitis B infection and preventing complications.
