Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) PCR Tests — Jamshedpur
Navigate HBV confidently. In Jamshedpur, Thyrocare offers HBV Qualitative PCR and HBV Quantitative PCR (viral load) with home sample collection and rapid digital reports.
Important: HBV Quantitative PCR (viral load) is primarily used to monitor documented HBV infection and treatment response. For initial screening/diagnosis, start with serology (e.g., HBsAg). Please consult your doctor.
Reports are issued under accredited workflows and must be interpreted by your physician.
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) PCR Tests
Your Gateway to Accurate HBV Monitoring and Care
Understanding when to use PCR matters. Qualitative PCR confirms the presence of HBV DNA when serology is inconclusive or a carrier state is suspected. Quantitative PCR measures viral load (IU/mL and log10) to help monitor disease activity and assess therapy response. If you’re screening for the first time, begin with HBsAg serology before PCR. Learn more about preventive care in your health journey.
Before you book: Quantitative PCR is not intended for initial diagnosis of HBV. If you’re screening for the first time, choose HBsAg serology first and proceed to PCR only if advised.

Understanding Hepatitis B: The Virus and Its Impact
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver. Direct detection of HBV DNA supports diagnosis in specific scenarios, and—critically—ongoing management of chronic infection. Viral load informs disease activity and treatment response.
The Science Behind the Tests: Real-Time PCR
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplifies regions of the HBV genome to detect viral DNA with high sensitivity. Results are provided as Detected/Not Detected (qualitative) or IU/mL plus log10 (quantitative).
HBV PCR Test Details
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Qualitative PCR
Confirms presence of HBV DNA when serology is inconclusive or carrier state is suspected. Use with clinical presentation and other markers.
Test Specifications
- Test Name: HBV Qualitative PCR
- Methodology: Real-time PCR (fluorescent detection)
- Clinical Use: Detect HBV DNA (Detected/Not Detected) in plasma/serum
Interpreting Your Results
- Detected: HBV DNA identified in the specimen.
- Not Detected: HBV DNA not found or below the assay’s detection limit.
Note: Not intended for initial diagnosis or confirmation of HBV infection.
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Quantitative PCR — Viral Load
Measures HBV DNA in IU/mL (with log10) for prognosis and treatment monitoring.
Test Specifications
- Test Name: HBV Quantitative PCR (Viral Load)
- Methodology: Real-time PCR
- Lower Limit of Detection (LoD): 32 IU/mL
- Linear Range: 150 to 1.0×107 IU/mL
Interpreting Your Results
- Target Not Detected (TND): HBV DNA not identified in the specimen.
- <150 IU/mL: Detected but below the assay’s linear range.
- 150 to 1.0×107 IU/mL: Within the assay’s linear range.
- >1.0×107 IU/mL: Above the linear range; consider dilution/retest.
Important: Not intended for initial diagnosis. Use for baseline and on-treatment monitoring as advised by your doctor.

- Results may vary across laboratories or over time; unexpected abnormalities warrant reconfirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions about HBV Testing
1. What’s the difference between Qualitative and Quantitative PCR?
Qualitative PCR detects HBV DNA (Detected/Not Detected). Quantitative PCR measures the viral load in IU/mL (with log10) to track disease activity and therapy response.
2. Is HBV Quantitative PCR used to diagnose Hepatitis B?
No—Quantitative PCR is primarily for management/monitoring after diagnosis. For initial screening, use serology (e.g., HBsAg) and proceed to PCR if advised by your doctor.
3. Do I need to fast?
No. Fasting is not required for HBV Qualitative or Quantitative PCR.
4. How long do reports take?
Typically same-day e-reports after the sample reaches the lab. Turnaround can vary by logistics and volume.
5. How accurate and reliable are the results?
Testing is performed under accredited quality systems (NABL/CAP-aligned). Internal QC and external proficiency participation support ongoing accuracy.
