Why HBV DNA Quantitative Test Important?

As nucleic acid-based technology has enabled more precise quantification of HBV DNA detection, hepatitis B virus PCR detection assay is vital for the evaluation of the hepatitis b development stage and efficacy of antiviral treatment. In this article, we discuss the importance of the HBV DNA quantitative PCR test in assessing HBV infectivity and prescribing antivirus treatment for hepatitis b.


Evaluating the infectivity and Phases of hepatitis B

Chronic hepatitis B is a dynamic disease, patients may experience several disease phases from disease activity to inactivity. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection develops through several stages. The immune activation phase of chronic hepatitis B is characterized by moderate to high levels of HBV replication and infectivity. While an inactive carrier state, marked by low levels of HBV replication and infectivity. The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA quantitative test can help evaluate the infection phases and infectivity of the disease, which can provide better treatment to the patient.

Making Hepatitis B Antiviral Treatment Decision Based on HBV DNA Quantitative Test

Before prescribing hepatitis b antiviral treatment, quantitative detection of HBV DNA should conduct to confirm the level of the virus, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and the severity of the liver disease.

Antiviral therapy for hepatitis B is to reduce the risks of long-term complications such as cirrhosis and HCC. Since the HBV replication and elevation of ALT levels indicate a critical risk of disease progression. Conducting antiviral therapy is aim to decrease the HBV viral load and the replication ability of the virus, so HBV DNA detection is important during hepatitis B antiviral therapy because it can evaluate the possibility of antiviral resistance.
