HBV – DNA Detection test is to diagnose quantification of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in serum of patients with chronic HBV infection.
Detection and quantification of HBV DNA in serum are useful to:
-Diagnose some cases of early acute HBV infection (before the appearance of HBsAg)
-Distinguish active from inactive HBV infection
-Monitor a patient’s response to anti-HBV therapy
The quantification range of this assay is 10 to 1,000,000,000 IU/mL (1.00 log to 9.00 log IU/mL).
