Positive hepatitis B virus DNA

Positive DNA of hepatitis B virus is not a specific test result. If a positive DNA test is found in a qualitative manner, it is recommended that the DNA quantification of the hepatitis B virus be done, along with the improvement of the five hepatitis B tests and liver function tests. A positive DNA test for the hepatitis B virus means that the DNA molecules of the hepatitis B virus can be detected in the blood, and this test alone can identify a hepatitis B patient. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the exact amount of virus, which is usually expressed by scientific counting method, expressed as several times of ten. It is also necessary to look at the quantification of the five hepatitis B tests to determine whether the current status is a major or minor triple-positive one. All of the above is to determine the viral aspect, but you also need to look at whether the hepatitis B virus has caused damage to the body and the extent of that damage, which requires looking at imaging tests such as liver function, ultrasound of the liver, and items like alpha-fetoprotein.
