Hepatitis B Full Profile–(HBsAg, HBsAb, HBc IgM, HBc Ab, HBeAg, HBeAb)

Description

**Hepatitis B Full Profile (HBsAg, HBsAb, HBc IgM, HBc Ab, HBeAg, HBeAb)**

The Hepatitis B Full Profile is a comprehensive diagnostic test designed to evaluate your exposure to the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and assess your immune response. This test measures six critical markers: HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen), HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody), HBc IgM (Hepatitis B core IgM antibody), HBc Ab (Hepatitis B core antibody), HBeAg (Hepatitis B e-antigen), and HBeAb (Hepatitis B e-antibody). It provides a complete picture of your Hepatitis B status, helping in the diagnosis, monitoring, and prevention of HBV-related complications.

### Why You Need This Test
The Hepatitis B Full Profile is essential for individuals at risk of Hepatitis B infection or those with symptoms suggestive of liver disease. This test helps identify active infections, past exposure, or immunity to the virus. It is also crucial for monitoring chronic Hepatitis B patients and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment. Early detection of Hepatitis B can prevent severe complications such as liver cirrhosis, liver failure, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Whether you are experiencing symptoms, have been exposed to the virus, or need to confirm immunity after vaccination, this test provides the insights you need to take control of your health.

### Symptoms That Indicate This Test
Consider taking the Hepatitis B Full Profile if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:
– Fatigue or weakness
– Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
– Dark urine or pale stools
– Abdominal pain, particularly in the upper right quadrant
– Nausea or vomiting
– Loss of appetite
– Unexplained fever
– History of unprotected sexual contact or needle sharing
– Family history of Hepatitis B or liver disease

This test is also recommended for pregnant women, healthcare workers, and individuals undergoing immunosuppressive therapy.

### Natural Production
The markers tested in the Hepatitis B Full Profile are naturally produced by the body in response to HBV infection or vaccination. HBsAg indicates an active infection, while HBsAb signifies immunity, either from recovery or vaccination. HBc IgM and HBc Ab reflect recent or past exposure to the virus. HBeAg and HBeAb provide insights into the virus’s replication activity and infectivity. Factors such as recent exposure, vaccination status, or immune system health can influence these markers. Understanding these levels is critical for diagnosing and managing Hepatitis B effectively.

### What Happens If Untreated
If left untreated, Hepatitis B can progress to severe liver complications, including chronic infection, cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer. Chronic Hepatitis B can also lead to long-term health issues, significantly impacting quality of life. Early detection through the Hepatitis B Full Profile allows for timely intervention, reducing the risk of complications and improving outcomes.
