BK/JC Qualitative PCR Cost in India: Symptoms and Diagnosis

Are you experiencing symptoms of a urinary tract infection? Do you have a weakened immune system? If so, you may need to undergo a BK/JC qualitative PCR test. This test can detect the presence of the BK and JC viruses, which can cause severe infections in individuals with weakened immune systems.

What is BK/JC Qualitative PCR Test?

The BK/JC qualitative PCR test is a molecular test that detects the presence of the BK and JC viruses. These viruses are common and can be found in up to 90% of the population. However, in individuals with weakened immune systems, these viruses can cause severe infections, including urinary tract infections, kidney infections, and even brain infections.

What are the Symptoms of a BK/JC Virus Infection?

The symptoms of a BK/JC virus infection can vary depending on the location of the infection. In the case of a urinary tract infection, symptoms may include:

  • Pain or burning during urination
  • Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
  • Frequent urination
  • Urgency to urinate
  • Fever

In the case of a kidney infection, symptoms may include:

  • Fever
  • Back or side pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Frequent urination

In the case of a brain infection, symptoms may include:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Changes in vision or speech
  • Confusion or disorientation
  • Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs

How is BK/JC Virus Infection Diagnosed?

BK/JC virus infection can be diagnosed through a variety of tests, including blood tests, urine tests, and imaging studies. However, the most accurate test for detecting the presence of the virus is a BK/JC qualitative PCR test.

What is the Cost of a BK/JC Qualitative PCR Test in India?

The cost of a BK/JC qualitative PCR test in India can vary depending on the location and the laboratory performing the test. However, on average, the cost of the test is around INR 9,000.

Final Thoughts

If you are experiencing symptoms of a urinary tract infection, kidney infection, or brain infection, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. A BK/JC qualitative PCR test can accurately detect the presence of the virus and help your healthcare provider determine the best course of treatment. While the cost of the test may vary, it is a small price to pay for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of a potentially life-threatening infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the cost of BK/JC Qualitative PCR?

    Cost of BK/JC Qualitative PCR is 9000 Rs

  • Diagnosis

    This virus can be diagnosed by a BKV blood test or a urine test for decoy cells, in addition to carrying out a biopsy in the kidneys. PCR techniques are often carried out to identify the virus. 

  • How many days does it take for reports?

    Reports take 8-10 working days

  • Risk factors

    Renal transplant patients, the necessary use of immunosuppressive drugs has the side-effect of allowing the virus to replicate within the graft, a disease called BK nephropathy From 1–10% of renal transplant patients progress to BK virus-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) and up to 80% of these patients lose their grafts. 

  • Signs and symptoms

    The BK virus rarely causes disease but is typically associated with patients who have had a kidney transplant; many people who are infected with this virus are asymptomatic. If symptoms do appear, they tend to be mild: respiratory infection or fever. 

  • Transmission

    It is not known how this virus is transmitted. It is known, however, that the virus is spread from person to person, and not from an animal source. It has been suggested that this virus may be transmitted through respiratory fluids or urine since infected individuals periodically excrete the virus in the urine.

  • Treatment

    The cornerstone of therapy is a reduction in immunosuppression. A recent surge in BKVAN correlates with the use of potent immunosuppressant drugs, such as tacrolimus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Studies have not shown any correlation between BKVAN and a single immunosuppressive agent but rather the overall immunosuppressive load.

  • What is BK Virus?

    The BK virus is a member of the polyomavirus family. Past infection with the BK virus is widespread, but significant consequences of infection are uncommon, with the exception of the immunocompromised immunosuppressed. 

  • What is the cost of the BK/JC Virus?

    BK/JC virus costs 5000 Rs
