Clinical specimen: Whole Blood/Plasma EDTA
Pathogen name:
HBV
Description:
Hepatitis B is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus. The infection can be acute (short and severe) or chronic (long term). Hepatitis B can cause a chronic infection and puts people at high risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer. The amount of virus in the bloodstream at any given time is called the viral load. The HBV Quant Real time PCR is used to determine the amount of HBV (viral load) in the blood in international units per millilitre (IU/mL). This number determines whether an individual has a high or low viral load. Knowing and understanding the viral load is a crucial step in treating people with HBV.
