QUANTIFICATION OF HBV DNA AND ITS IMPACT ON VIRAL LOAD MONITORING
Abstract
HBV is a causative agent for chronic hepatitis, and can cause liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic carriers are at high risk of long term complications of infection, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Study includes the ease, reliability and sensitivity of HBV DNA quantification by RT PCR and its clinical significance in viral load monitoring.
