Hepatitis-B DNA, Qualitative Test in Pune

What is Hepatitis-B DNA, Qualitative Test

A Hepatitis-B DNA qualitative test is a laboratory test that detects the presence of Hepatitis-B virus (HBV) DNA in the blood. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from the patient and analyzing it using a technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) which amplifies the viral DNA if it is present in the sample. This test is useful in diagnosing acute or chronic Hepatitis-B infections, monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, and determining if a patient is a carrier of the virus. The results of the test are usually reported as positive or negative for the presence of HBV DNA.

Who should do this test?

People who have been exposed to Hepatitis B virus (HBV) through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids, such as healthcare workers, emergency responders, and individuals who have received blood transfusions or organ transplants.

• Individuals who are at high risk of HBV infection due to lifestyle factors, such as injection drug use, having multiple sexual partners, or living in a household with someone who has chronic HBV infection.
• Newborns born to mothers who are infected with HBV, as they are at high risk of developing chronic HBV infection themselves.

What to do if the test is abnormal?

• The first step is to confirm the results through a repeat test. False positive or false negative results can occur, making it necessary to repeat the test to confirm the initial result.
• Seek medical consultation from a healthcare professional with expertise in Hepatitis B. The physician will evaluate the results and conduct further tests to determine the level of infection and assess the extent of liver damage, if any.
• Based on the results of the evaluation, the physician will recommend appropriate treatment options, which may include antiviral medications or liver function monitoring. It is essential to follow the treatment plan as prescribed by the physician to manage the condition and prevent further complications.
