Private Hepatitis B Genotype Test in London
South Kensington Medical & Dental offers private hepatitis B genotype testing at our CQC-registered clinic. HBV genotyping identifies the specific genotype (A through H) of the virus, which influences disease progression and treatment response.
Testing requires a venous blood sample, with results available within 7 days. This test is priced at £695 (includes £50 phlebotomy fee). 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 Genotype Testing Matters
There are at least eight hepatitis B genotypes (A–H), each with different geographical distribution and clinical significance. Genotype influences the natural history of chronic hepatitis B, likelihood of HBeAg seroconversion, response to interferon therapy, and risk of complications.
Genotyping is recommended before starting treatment, as it helps predict treatment response. For example, genotypes A and B respond better to interferon-based therapy than genotypes C and D.
