About test
What does HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV) QUALITATIVE PCR measure?
This test detects hepatitis B virus (HBV) genetic material in the blood using PCR technology. A qualitative result indicates whether HBV DNA is detected or not detected, rather than measuring the amount of virus present. It may be used to help assess suspected active HBV infection, clarify certain hepatitis B test results, or support monitoring in people with known hepatitis B infection. Results should be interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory tests.
