Hepatitis B Profile (6 Parameters) – Complete HBV Screening

Description

Hepatitis B Profile Test – Complete Screening in Dubai

The Hepatitis B Profile is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates six key markers to diagnose, monitor, and assess immunity against Hepatitis B virus (HBV). This test plays a crucial role in determining whether you have an active infection, past exposure, or immunity from vaccination. Early detection of Hepatitis B helps prevent serious liver complications such as cirrhosis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Parameters Tested (6)

• HBsAg – Indicates current infection
• Anti-HBs – Confirms immunity after infection or vaccination
• Anti-HBc IgM – Suggests recent or acute infection
• Anti-HBc Total – Shows past or ongoing infection
• HBeAg – Marker of active viral replication and high infectivity
• Anti-HBe – Suggests lower viral replication and reduced infectivity

Why You Need This Test

The Hepatitis B Panel Test is important for:

• Diagnosing active or chronic Hepatitis B infection
• Monitoring past exposure or immunity status
• Evaluating the need for Hepatitis B vaccination
• Assessing liver health and guiding treatment decisions

Early diagnosis ensures timely intervention and reduces the risk of long-term liver damage.

Symptoms That Indicate This Test

You may need this test if you experience:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
• Dark urine and pale stools
• Abdominal pain, especially in the liver area
• Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
• Unexplained fever

Risk Factors: Unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles, family history of Hepatitis B, travel to high-risk regions, or working in healthcare/laboratory settings.

Natural Production & Regulation

The immune system produces antibodies (Anti-HBs, Anti-HBc) in response to Hepatitis B infection or vaccination. The presence of HBsAg confirms current infection, while HBeAg indicates viral replication. Anti-HBe suggests reduced transmission risk. The liver processes the virus, and immune responses may vary depending on genetics and overall health.

What Happens If Untreated?

• Chronic Hepatitis B infection
• Liver fibrosis and cirrhosis
• Increased risk of liver cancer
• Liver failure requiring transplantation
• Transmission to others, including newborns if pregnant
