Description
The test detects infection with the HBV virus, which causes hepatitis B (HBV).
HBV infection can be acute (symptomatic) or often asymptomatic. Other factors, such as alcohol abuse or infection with other viruses, can influence the course of the disease. HBV is transmitted through contact with blood and blood products, as well as through sexual contact. Untreated, chronic infection with this virus can result in cirrhosis or even liver cancer. The carrier state of HBV is relatively high. Early detection of infection, made possible by PCR testing, significantly increases the chances of recovery.
