Quantitative HBV PCR Test - Quantitative Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) PCR Test

A highly sensitive quantitative molecular test (using real-time PCR technique) to measure the concentration of DNA specific to hepatitis B virus (HBV) in a serum sample, expressed as copies/milliliter or international units/milliliter. This test is considered the cornerstone in managing chronic hepatitis B disease, as it determines infection severity, guides treatment initiation decisions, and monitors response to antiviral therapy with high accuracy.
