HEPATITIS B VIRAL DRUG RESISTANCE & GENOTYPING Test
According to the World Health Organization, there are around 257 million people living with chronic hepatitis B infection worldwide. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can cause serious health problems if left untreated. One of the biggest challenges in treating hepatitis B is drug resistance. Hepatitis B viral drug resistance occurs when the virus mutates and becomes resistant to antiviral drugs, making it difficult to treat.
Symptoms of Hepatitis B
The symptoms of hepatitis B can vary from person to person. Some people may not experience any symptoms at all, while others may experience mild to severe symptoms. Common symptoms of hepatitis B include:
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Fatigue
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Joint pain
- Loss of appetite
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment.
Diagnosis of Hepatitis B
Diagnosis of hepatitis B typically involves a blood test to detect the presence of the virus. Your healthcare provider may also order additional tests to determine the severity of the infection and assess liver function. If you have been diagnosed with hepatitis B, it is important to get regular monitoring to detect any changes in your liver function and to monitor for drug resistance.
Hepatitis B Viral Drug Resistance & Genotyping Test
The hepatitis B viral drug resistance & genotyping test is a specialized blood test that is used to detect drug resistance and identify the specific genotype of the hepatitis B virus. This test can help healthcare providers determine the most effective treatment for your specific hepatitis B infection.
The cost of the hepatitis B viral drug resistance & genotyping test at DNA Labs India is INR 13,000.
