Understanding Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Often termed as a “silent infection,” it can quietly damage the liver over time if not managed properly. Many people live with this condition without realizing it, as symptoms can remain dormant for years.

Symptoms to Be Aware Of

While some individuals may remain symptom-free, others might experience fatigue, jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, and abdominal pain. It’s essential to listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.

Diagnosing Hepatitis B

Doctors generally diagnose hepatitis B through blood tests that detect viral antigens and antibodies or evaluate liver function. Imaging tests or a liver biopsy might be necessary in certain situations to understand the extent of liver involvement.
