What is Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) RNA detection by PCR?

This highly sensitive test directly detects the genetic material (RNA) of the Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) in your blood. It confirms an active HDV infection and is essential for monitoring the viral load, especially in individuals co-infected with Hepatitis B.

Why is this test important?

HDV RNA detection by PCR is the gold standard for diagnosing active HDV infection and monitoring treatment response. It provides direct evidence of viral replication, guiding clinical management and prognosis.
