Hepatitis B Viral DNA (HBV DNA) Quantitative
Also Known As:
Hepatitis B Virus PCR
HBV DNA Quantitative
About This Test
The HBV Quantitative by TRUNAT test is a molecular test (PCR-based) that measures the amount of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the blood. This test helps in diagnosis of Active Hepatitis B Infection to detect if the virus is currently replicating. Useful for patients on antiviral medications such as tenofovir, entecavir, lamivudine to monitor the response to treatment. chronic infection with hepatitis B increases your chances of developing liver failure, cirrhosis or liver cancer.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
