HEPATITIS B VIRUS GENOTYPING DRUG RESISTANCE & QUANTITATIVE PCR Test cost INR:18135 symptoms diagnosis
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. Hepatitis B can cause both acute and chronic infections, with chronic infections lasting for more than six months. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to serious health problems such as liver damage, liver cancer, and even death.
One of the ways to manage hepatitis B is through the use of antiviral drugs. However, some strains of the virus may develop resistance to these drugs, making treatment more difficult. This is where hepatitis B virus genotyping drug resistance testing comes in.
Hepatitis B Virus Genotyping Drug Resistance Testing
Hepatitis B virus genotyping drug resistance testing is a laboratory test that helps doctors determine which strain of the virus is causing the infection and whether it is resistant to antiviral drugs. The test involves analyzing the genetic material of the virus and comparing it to known strains of the virus.
If the virus is found to be resistant to the antiviral drug being used, the doctor may need to switch to a different drug or adjust the dosage. This can help prevent the virus from becoming even more resistant and potentially causing serious health problems.
Quantitative PCR Test
In addition to genotyping drug resistance testing, doctors may also use a quantitative PCR test to monitor the amount of virus in a patient’s blood. This test measures the amount of viral DNA in a blood sample.
The quantitative PCR test can help doctors determine the effectiveness of antiviral treatment and monitor the progression of the disease. It can also help identify patients who are at a higher risk of developing serious complications from the infection.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The symptoms of hepatitis B can vary from person to person and may include:
- Abdominal pain
- Dark urine
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor right away. The doctor may order blood tests to check for the presence of the hepatitis B virus.
Test Cost and Availability
The cost of hepatitis B virus genotyping drug resistance testing and quantitative PCR testing can vary depending on the lab and location. At DNA Labs India, the cost for both tests is INR 18135.
These tests are available at DNA Labs India and can be ordered by a doctor. The results of the tests can help doctors determine the most effective treatment for patients with hepatitis B.
Conclusion
Hepatitis B virus genotyping drug resistance testing and quantitative PCR testing are important tools in the management of hepatitis B. These tests can help doctors determine the most effective treatment for patients and monitor the progression of the disease. If you are experiencing symptoms of hepatitis B, it is important to see a doctor right away and get tested.
