The Hepatitis B Test detects the presence of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the blood by identifying viral antibodies, antigens, and, in some cases, measuring the viral load. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver, causing inflammation and potentially leading to severe liver complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. This test is crucial for determining if an individual has an acute (recently acquired) or chronic (long-term) HBV infection. It is especially important for high-risk groups, such as healthcare providers and pregnant women, to screen for HBV for timely treatment and to prevent transmission.

Hepatitis B is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to serious liver conditions if untreated. Individuals at high risk include healthcare workers, those with multiple sexual partners, people with a family history of HBV, and pregnant women. Regular screening helps identify infections early, allowing for effective management to reduce liver damage risk. Chronic Hepatitis B infections can be monitored through regular testing, ensuring timely treatment and a better prognosis. Individuals exposed to potentially infectious body fluids should also undergo testing.
