Frequently Asked Questions

What does HBV Genotyping measure?

It identifies the specific genotype (A through H and subtypes) of Hepatitis B virus present in the patient's plasma, which guides treatment selection and predicts disease outcomes.

Is fasting required for this test?

No, fasting is not required for HBV genotyping from EDTA plasma. Sample can be collected at any time of day.

What sample is used for this test?

EDTA plasma (3 mL) is the preferred sample. Whole blood in EDTA tube is also accepted and plasma is separated for molecular analysis.

Why is genotyping important for Hepatitis B patients?

Different HBV genotypes respond differently to antiviral therapies like interferon and nucleos(t)ide analogues. Genotype A and D typically respond better to interferon, while genotype C may require longer treatment duration.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are typically available within 3–5 working days as molecular genotyping requires specialized PCR-based methodology and pathologist review.

Can I access my report online?

Yes, a verified PDF report is available within the specified TAT via www.drpatholab.in or via WhatsApp/Email.
