Ref. Range Notes
Reference Interval: Not Detected

    Interpretive Data:

    The quantitative range of this assay is 2.0-6.7 log IU/mL (92 - 4,600,000 IU/mL).

    A negative result (less than 2.0 log IU/mL or less than 92 IU/mL) does not rule out the presence of PCR inhibitors in the patient specimen or HDV RNA concentrations below the level of detection of the test. Inhibition may also lead to underestimation of viral quantitation.

    Ordering & Collection

    Specimen Type
    Blood
    Collection

    3 mL blood in GOLD TOP tube (SST)

    Note: This test requires a dedicated tube and cannot be shared.

    Handling Instructions

    Outside Laboratories:

    • Preferred: Centrifuge sample and freeze in unopened SST container at -20°C.

    Stability: Frozen: 30 days; Refrigerated: 1 week; Ambient: 24 hours.

    Quantity
    Requested: 1 mL serum in a spun, unopened gold SST
    Minimum: 0.5 mL serum in a spun, unopened gold SST

    Processing

    Receiving Instructions

    Centrifuge sample and freeze in the original container at -20°C. Do not aliquot or open the tube.

    • Note: Serum submitted in an unopened tube is preferred due to potential contamination. However, ARUP will accept sterile aliquots.
