To tell the level of hepatitis B virus, just look at this value!

This value is the viral load. The viral load refers to the amount of hepatitis B virus in the blood. Generally speaking, the higher the viral load, the more serious the damage to the liver caused by the virus, and the higher the risk of the patient developing hepatitis symptoms. The viral load test can help doctors assess the severity of the disease and develop appropriate treatment plans.

There are two main results for the quantitative detection of hepatitis B virus DNA:

The first type: The measurement result is less than the reference value, which means that the amount of hepatitis B virus in the serum is very low and at the lower limit of detection.

The second type: the measurement results will display specific values; for example, the test report in the picture shows a measurement result of 7.02E+08, which means that the number of viruses in the serum is 7.02 times 10 to the 8th power, which means that there are 702,000,000 hepatitis B viruses per milliliter of serum.
