Understanding HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) DNA Detection

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation, primarily due to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The virus is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, or vaginal secretions, often through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child at birth. Some individuals may show no symptoms, while others may experience symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, nausea, and dark urine. The infection may be acute, occurring suddenly and lasting a few weeks to months, or chronic, persisting for six months or longer.

The HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) DNA Detection test detects HBV DNA to confirm presence of viral genetic material, supporting diagnosis when combined with clinical findings and serology. This test helps evaluate individuals showing liver disease symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, dark urine, or abdominal discomfort. It is also used post-exposure (blood transfusions, needle sharing, unprotected sex, close contact with infected persons) and for pregnant women to assess vertical transmission ( the passing of infection from mother to baby during childbirth) risk. Early detection of HBV infection through this test allows timely medical intervention and monitoring. It also helps in taking preventive measures, such as vaccination, for people who are at risk of infection.

Usually, no special preparation is required for this test. Eat and drink as per the daily routine. However, sharing the clinical history, current medications, and supplement use with the doctor before giving the sample is preferred, as these may influence the results.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate and always consult a doctor to understand the test results correctly. 

Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.

What does HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) DNA Detection measure?

The HBV (Hepatitis B Virus) DNA Detection test detects the genetic material (DNA) of the hepatitis B virus in the blood, indicating an actively replicating virus. A positive result indicates that the virus is actively present in the body, while a negative result suggests no current infection, though it does not rule out past exposure.

The test uses highly sensitive techniques to detect even very small amounts of the virus. Detecting the virus’s DNA helps identify infection early and take timely steps to prevent complications and transmission, especially in high-risk individuals such as newborns of infected mothers.
