HEPATITIS D VIRUS DETECTION PCR Test
HEPATITIS D VIRUS (HDV) is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the liver. It is caused by the Hepatitis D virus, which is a small, enveloped virus that contains a single-stranded RNA genome. HDV can only infect people who are already infected with Hepatitis B virus (HBV), as it requires the HBV surface antigen to enter liver cells. HDV can cause acute or chronic hepatitis, and it can lead to liver failure or liver cancer.
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a highly sensitive and specific laboratory technique that can detect the presence of HDV RNA in a patient’s blood. The PCR test can detect the virus even if the patient has no symptoms or signs of liver disease. The test can also determine the level of virus in the blood, which can help doctors monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Symptoms of Hepatitis D Virus Infection
HDV infection can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe. Some people may not have any symptoms at all. Symptoms of HDV infection may include:
- Fever
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Dark urine
- Joint pain
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
Diagnosis of Hepatitis D Virus Infection
HDV infection is diagnosed by a blood test that detects the presence of HDV antibodies or HDV RNA. The PCR test is the most sensitive test for detecting HDV RNA. The test is performed on a blood sample, and the results can be available within a few days.
HEPATITIS D VIRUS DETECTION PCR Test Cost
The cost of the HEPATITIS D VIRUS DETECTION PCR Test in India is around INR 8500. However, the cost may vary depending on the location and the laboratory where the test is performed.
Conclusion
HEPATITIS D VIRUS DETECTION PCR Test is a highly sensitive and specific laboratory technique that can detect the presence of HDV RNA in a patient’s blood. The test can detect the virus even if the patient has no symptoms or signs of liver disease. If you have any symptoms of HDV infection or if you have been exposed to someone with HDV, it is important to get tested. The cost of the test may vary, but it is a small price to pay for early detection and treatment of this serious viral infection.
