Hepatitis A (HAV): Real-time PCR-qualitative determination
480 UAH
The test is designed to detect the genetic material (RNA) of the hepatitis A virus in the blood using the polymerase chain reaction method. This method allows you to confirm the presence of the virus at the earliest stages of infection, even before the appearance of antibodies and the first symptoms of the disease. Qualitative determination gives a clear answer («positive» or «negative»), which is critically important for differential diagnosis and initiation of timely treatment.
Analysis by method Real-time PCR makes it possible to detect Hepatitis A virus RNA in the early stages of infection, before antibodies or symptoms appear. This is one of the most accurate modern methods that allows confirming the presence of an active infection.
What does the test determine?
Presence of HAV genetic material in the blood
The fact of active infection
Risks of transmitting the virus to other people
Who is recommended to undergo the analysis?
If hepatitis A is suspected (weakness, nausea, abdominal pain, dark urine, jaundice)
After contact with a sick person
With a sudden deterioration in liver parameters (ALT, AST, bilirubin)
For food industry workers, educational institutions, and medical workers
For control after HAV infection
Advantages of Real-time PCR:
High sensitivity and specificity
Detecting the virus before antibodies appear
Accurate confirmation of the presence of infection
Quick results
Preparation for analysis:
No special preparation is required. The sample is taken from venous blood.
What is important to know:
The method is high-quality — the result has two options:
Detected — confirms the presence of HAV
Not detected — no genetic material of the virus was found
