Hello. The quantitative HBV-DNA test, also known as the hepatitis B virus in the blood, is a test that determines the amount or concentration of the virus in a unit volume of plasma/serum, using units of IU. /ml or copy/ml (1IU corresponds to 5-6 copies), thereby assessing the level of viral replication in liver cells. With my test, it means that the hepatitis B virus level in my blood is 7.26 x 10^4 copies/ml.
