HBV DNA or Hepatitis B PCR or Hepatitis B viral load measures how much of the virus is present
| Undetectable | No virus |
| Low | <2,000IU/mL |
| Moderate | 2,000 – 200,000IU/mL |
| High | >200,000IU/mL |
For HBeAG positive patients a viral load of 20,000IU/mL or greater is often considered significant. While HBeAG negative levels above 2,000IU/mL combined with elevated liver enzymes may indicate active disease
