Private Hepatitis B Resistance Mutation Test in London

Wimpole Street Medical & Dental offers private hepatitis B resistance mutation testing at our clinic. This test identifies mutations in the HBV genome that confer resistance to antiviral medications.

Testing requires a simple sample, with results available within a few working days. This is a specialist investigation for individuals with known chronic hepatitis B.

No GP referral is required. All samples are processed at UKAS-accredited laboratories. Results are communicated confidentially.

Why Resistance Mutation Testing Matters

Long-term antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis B can lead to the emergence of drug-resistant mutations. These mutations reduce the effectiveness of specific antiviral agents and may necessitate a change in treatment regimen.

Resistance testing identifies specific mutations in the reverse transcriptase region of the HBV genome. This information is critical for selecting alternative antiviral agents and managing treatment failure.
