Interpretation
- Method
Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction
- Reference Range
- See individual components
- Ref. Range Notes
Reference Interval: Not Detected
Interpretive Data:
The quantitative range of this assay is 2.1-6.8 log IU/mL (120 - 5,800,000 IU/mL).
A negative result (less than 2.1 log IU/mL or less than 120 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.
