Hepatitis B Profile (5 Tests)

At healthcare nt sickcare, we offer a comprehensive Hepatitis B Profile, which is a blood test used to screen for the presence of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and to assess the individual's immunity to HBV.

Our Hepatitis B Profile includes several tests, including the HBsAg test, the HBsAb test, and the HBcAb test. The HBsAg test detects the presence of the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood, which indicates an active HBV infection. The HBsAb test detects the presence of antibodies to the HBV surface antigen, which indicates immunity to HBV. The HBcAb test detects the presence of antibodies to the Hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg), which indicates a previous or ongoing HBV infection.

Our Hepatitis B Profile is conducted using state-of-the-art equipment and is highly accurate. Results are typically available within a few days.

The Hepatitis B virus is spread through blood and bodily fluids and can cause a range of liver diseases, from a mild illness to chronic liver disease and even liver cancer. The Hepatitis B Profile is recommended for individuals who may be at risk of HBV infection, including those who have had unprotected sex, those who have shared needles or injection equipment, and those who were born to mothers with HBV.

If the Hepatitis B Profile is positive for HBsAg, further testing may be required to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate course of treatment. If the Hepatitis B Profile is negative for HBsAg but positive for HBsAb, the individual is considered immune to HBV and does not require further testing.

At healthcare nt sickcare, we are committed to providing our patients with high-quality medical testing services in a comfortable and convenient environment. Our Hepatitis B Profile is just one of the many tests we offer to help diagnose and manage Hepatitis B.
