NABL Cap Accredited     
JC-BK Virus DNA Detection by RT PCR / EDTA Blood is a molecular test that identifies the presence of JC and BK virus DNA in the blood. These viruses, members of the polyomavirus family, can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant recipients, causing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) or nephropathy. Early detection helps guide antiviral therapy and monitor viral load. Metropolis Healthcare performs this test using sensitive real-time PCR techniques for accurate and quantitative detection
