Hepatitis B Profile Kit

About Hepatitis B Profile Kit

The Hepatitis B Profile Blood Test is a comprehensive screening test that checks for current infection, past exposure, and immunity to Hepatitis B virus.

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can be transmitted through blood and body fluids. This test provides a full overview of your Hepatitis B status using key markers that help identify infection or immunity.

What is the Hepatitis B Profile Used for?

This test is used to determine whether you currently have Hepatitis B, have had a past infection, or are protected through immunity. Common reasons for testing include:

• Screening for current Hepatitis B infection
• Checking immunity after vaccination
• Identifying previous exposure to Hepatitis B
• Routine health or occupational screening
• Pre-travel or pre-employment medical checks

How Does the Hepatitis B Profile Work?

The Hepatitis B Profile analyses a blood sample to detect specific antigens and antibodies related to the Hepatitis B virus.

The test measures:

• HBsAg (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen) – indicates current Hepatitis B infection if present
• Anti-HBs (Hepatitis B Surface Antibody) – indicates immunity to Hepatitis B, usually from vaccination or past recovery
• Total Anti-HBc (Hepatitis B Core Antibody) – indicates previous or ongoing exposure to the Hepatitis B virus

What Does the Hepatitis B Profile Check?

This profile provides a complete Hepatitis B status assessment:

• HBsAg – checks for active Hepatitis B infection
• Anti-HBs – checks immunity status against Hepatitis B
• Anti-HBc Total – checks whether you have been exposed to Hepatitis B in the past

Who Can Use the Hepatitis B Profile?

The Hepatitis B Profile Blood Test is suitable for adults who want to understand their Hepatitis B status.

It may be useful for people with potential exposure risk, healthcare workers, travelers, or anyone wanting to confirm immunity or infection status.
