Frequently Asked Questions

This test detects Hepatitis D virus (HDV) RNA in the blood using real-time PCR technology. It helps diagnose and monitor co-infection or superinfection in hepatitis B patients.

  • People diagnosed with chronic Hepatitis B (HBV)
  • Individuals with liver disease or unexplained liver function abnormalities

  • RT-PCR detects active viral RNA, confirming ongoing infection.
  • Antibody tests detect past exposure, but don’t indicate active infection.

There’s no specific cure, but antiviral therapies and liver monitoring help manage the disease.
