Overview
The Hepatitis Profile is crucial for diagnosing various types of hepatitis infections (A, B, C, E) and determining their stage, immunity, or potential risks. Tests like Anti-HBs and HBeAg help assess immunity and active infection with Hepatitis B, while HBsAg and HBcAb-Total detect current or past Hepatitis B infections. Anti-HCV screens for Hepatitis C exposure, and HAV-IgM and HEV-IgM identify acute infections of Hepatitis A and E, respectively.
These tests are important for early detection, monitoring disease progression, and preventing transmission, especially for high-risk individuals. The profile aids in determining the need for treatment or vaccination.

Who should take this package?
Individuals at risk of hepatitis
Those with a history of unprotected sex, drug use, or exposure to contaminated needles.
Healthcare workers
Due to frequent exposure to blood and bodily fluids, they are at higher risk for hepatitis infections.
People with liver disease symptoms
Such as jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss.
Patients with a history of blood transfusions
Especially those before 1992, as blood screening practices have evolved.
People with a family history of hepatitis
A family history of chronic hepatitis increases risk.
Pregnant women
Screening for Hepatitis B and C is recommended to prevent mother-to-child transmission.
Testing helps in early detection, prevention, and monitoring of hepatitis infections.
