Abstract:Background and Objectives: In India, it is estimated that there are 40 million people suffering from Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Quantification of the viral burden is an important laboratory tool in the management. However, widespread use of different HBV-DNA assays is still affected by the high cost and variable diagnostic precision. The present study was conduct- ed to evaluate the diagnostic precision and co-relation of ALT levels with HBV-DNA by Truenat®-PCR.
