Fibrometer Virus Test

The Fibrometer Virus Test measures specific substances in your blood to detect and diagnose viral infections.

• To detect and diagnose viral infections, such as hepatitis and HIV • To monitor the effectiveness of antiviral treatment • To assess the immune response to viral infections • To identify potential risks of viral transmission • To guide appropriate management and control of viral outbreaks

This test is recommended if you • have symptoms suggestive of a viral infection, such as fever, body aches, fatigue, nausea, or jaundice, • have a known exposure to a viral infection, • need to monitor the effectiveness of antiviral treatment, or • require pre-operative screening for viral infections.

Abnormal results of the Fibrometer Virus Test may indicate the presence of a viral infection or other conditions affecting your immune system.

During the test, a healthcare professional will collect a sample of your blood. The sample will be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

• Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, as some may interfere with the test results. Also, tell them if you have any specific requirements. • Follow any fasting instructions provided by your doctor, if applicable.

• Viral load testing: Measures the amount of virus present in your blood to monitor viral replication and treatment effectiveness • Serology testing: Detects antibodies produced by your immune system in response to viral infections, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring • Liver function tests: Evaluate liver health and detect liver damage caused by viral infections
