The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) Test, also known as the CMV Viral Load Test, is a highly sensitive molecular assay used to detect and quantify the amount of CMV DNA (the genetic material of the virus) present in a patient's blood or other body fluids.
Unlike antibody tests (IgG and IgM), which measure the immune response, the PCR test directly measures the active presence and concentration of the virus itself. This test is critical for guiding antiviral treatment in immunocompromised patients.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL Accredited Lab in Delhi, we utilize advanced RT-PCR technology to provide accurate and quantifiable CMV viral load results.
