If you are concerned about your health, we urge you to get tested for hepatitis B today. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious health complications down the road. So please don’t hesitate to contact us if you think you might be at risk.

What is Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that attacks the liver. The virus is spread through contact with blood or other body fluids from an infected person. If left untreated, HBV can cause serious health problems, including liver damage, cirrhosis, and even cancer.

Acute Hepatitis B

Acute Hepatitis B only lasts for a short time (weeks to less than six months) and usually goes away on its own. Your immune system will likely clear the virus from your body within a few months. People with acute HBV usually don’t require treatment and will recover without any long-term health problems.

Chronic Hepatitis B

Chronic Hepatitis B is a more severe condition that can last for years, even a lifetime. People with chronic HBV need medical treatment to manage the virus and prevent serious health complications.

 

There is no cure for hepatitis B, but there are treatments available that can help manage the virus and reduce the risk of developing serious health problems. Safe Lab Centre offers a comprehensive range of services for the diagnosis and treatment of HBV infection. We are a leading provider of diagnostic and therapeutic services for HBV, and we are committed to providing the highest quality of care to our patients.

What Are the Causes Of Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B is an infection that we should not take lightly. It is important that we should be aware of the causes in order to take preventive measures. Below are some of the ways in which the virus can be contracted:

 

  • Sexual contact with an infected person: Hepatitis B virus is most commonly spread through unprotected sex with an infected partner.
  • Sharing needles, syringes, or other injecting equipment: This happens when people share equipment to inject drugs. It can also occur when people get tattoos or piercings done with unsterilized equipment.
  • Sharing personal items: This includes sharing razors, toothbrushes, or other things that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood.
  • Being born to a hepatitis B-infected mother: If your mother has the virus, you can get it at birth or during pregnancy.

What Are the Symptoms of Hepatitis B?

The symptoms of hepatitis B can vary depending on the individual. Some people may have no symptoms at all, while others may experience a range of symptoms, including:

 

  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
  • Dark urine
  • Muscle aches and joint pain
  • Skin rash
  • Headache

 

These symptoms can appear anywhere from one to four months after exposure to the virus. If you experience any of these symptoms, we urge you to contact us at Safe Lab Centre for a consultation.

What Are the Complications of Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B can lead to a number of serious health problems and complications if left untreated. These include:

1. Cirrhosis or Scarring of the Liver

Cirrhosis is a serious condition in which the liver becomes damaged and scarred. The liver is a vital organ that plays an important role in the body. Once the liver becomes cirrhotic, it can no longer function properly. Cirrhosis is most often caused by alcoholism or hepatitis.

2. Liver Cancer

Hepatitis B can also lead to liver cancer. Liver cancer is a very serious condition that can be fatal. The risk of developing liver cancer is increased if you have cirrhosis. If you have hepatitis B, it is important to monitor your condition and see a doctor regularly.

4. Liver Failure

Hepatitis B is one of the most prevalent causes of liver failure. Hepatitis B is a virus that attacks the liver and can cause inflammation, scarring, and eventually liver failure. People with chronic hepatitis B are at a higher risk for developing liver failure, as are people who abuse alcohol or have other liver conditions.

How Can You Prevent Getting Hepatitis B?

There are a number of ways you can prevent getting hepatitis B. First and foremost, it’s important to get vaccinated. The vaccines are effective at preventing the virus from spreading, and they’re safe for both adults and children. If you’re at risk of exposure to the virus, such as through sexual contact or sharing needles, it’s also important to use barrier protection such as condoms or sterile needles. You should also avoid sharing personal items such as toothbrushes and razors, as this can increase your risk of contracting the virus.

 

Finally, if you have hepatitis B, it’s important to take steps to treat the virus and prevent it from spreading.
