Title: Hepatitis B Test
Description:
The Hepatitis B Test checks for antigens and antibodies to detect current or past infection with the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), a serious liver infection transmitted through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to child at birth. Hepatitis B can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer if left untreated. This test is important for individuals with liver-related symptoms, those at higher risk due to lifestyle or exposure, pregnant women, and healthcare workers. Early diagnosis enables timely treatment and helps prevent transmission.
Instructions:
Fasting is not required for this test. A blood sample will be drawn from a vein in your arm by a trained healthcare professional.
