Take Control of Your Hepatitis B Treatment Journey
Living with Hepatitis B can feel overwhelming, especially when your treatment stops working as effectively as it should. If you’ve noticed your viral load increasing or your liver function tests showing concerning results, you’re not alone. Our Hepatitis B Viral Drug Resistance Genotyping Test provides the clarity you need to understand why your current treatment may be failing and what steps to take next.
Understanding Your Hepatitis B Drug Resistance Test
This advanced genetic test examines your Hepatitis B virus for specific mutations that make it resistant to antiviral medications. Think of it as a detailed investigation into why your current treatment might not be working optimally. By identifying the exact genetic changes in the virus, your healthcare provider can make informed decisions about switching to more effective medications.
Using sophisticated sequencing technology, we analyse the virus’s genetic material to detect resistance patterns that standard blood tests might miss. This precision testing gives you and your doctor the information needed to create a treatment plan that actually works for your specific viral strain.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is essential if you’re experiencing any of these situations:
- Your Hepatitis B viral load is increasing despite ongoing treatment
- Liver function tests show worsening results while on medication
- You’ve been on the same antiviral therapy for an extended period
- Your doctor suspects treatment failure or viral breakthrough
- You’re considering switching to a new treatment regimen
- You want to ensure your current treatment remains effective
Early detection of drug resistance can prevent months of ineffective treatment and potential liver damage progression.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting this test done provides several critical benefits:
- Prevent Treatment Failure: Identify resistance early before it leads to complete treatment failure
- Protect Liver Health: Maintain control over viral replication to prevent liver damage
- Personalised Treatment: Get medication recommendations tailored to your specific viral strain
- Peace of Mind: Know exactly why your treatment isn’t working and what to do about it
- Cost Savings: Avoid spending on ineffective medications and prevent complications
