The Purpose of an HBV, DNA, Quantitative, PCR Test

Hepatitis B can require frequent monitoring and treatment, depending on the stage of your infection. To determine this, you’ll take a hepatitis B DNA, quantitative, PCR lab test. The PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, and this testing method analyzes your viral load or the amount of hepatitis B virus that is in your system. Your doctors can use these results to assess the severity of your infection or see how well you are responding to any treatment.

What Does the HBV Quantitative Real-Time PCR Test Measure?

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) replicates in the body, and detecting the amount of HBV DNA in your blood helps classify whether your illness is chronic, as well as active (replicating) or inactive (not replicating).

Who Should Take an HBV DNA PCR Quantitative Test?

An HBV quantitative real-time PCR test will typically be administered to people who have been diagnosed with hepatitis B to help monitor their condition. Hepatitis B is one form of viral hepatitis. It is transmitted when you come into contact with bodily fluids belonging to someone who has the disease. The quantitative test can help determine if your infection is going away or if you have a chronic case of hepatitis B, which can raise your risk of liver cancer or disease.

HBV Quantitative PR Preparation

An HBV DNA quantitative PCR test doesn’t require any special preparation prior to your lab appointment.

HBV DNA PCR Quantitative Lab Results

Test results can range anywhere between 10 and 1,000,000,000 IU/mL. If your numbers are on the low end of the range, your doctor may consider your infection inactive, meaning the virus is no longer replicating in your body.
