Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. Viruses are a common cause. HBsAg and anti-HCV are screening blood tests. Liver enzymes show whether the liver is irritated right now. Vaccination history and risk questions belong with the report.
Viral hepatitis is caused by five main viruses. Hepatitis A and E spread through contaminated food and water and usually cause a short illness. Hepatitis B and C spread through blood, sex and from mother to baby, and can become long-term infections that slowly damage the liver.
Many people with hepatitis B or C feel completely well for years. Screening is the only reliable way to find them early, when treatment and monitoring can prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Your doctor may suggest one test or a combination, depending on your symptoms, age and earlier reports. Each test answers a different question. Here are the main blood tests used to look at hepatitis:
HBsAg measures HBsAg. Screens for hepatitis B surface antigen. Read more about the HBsAg.
Anti-HCV measures Anti-HCV. Screens for antibodies to hepatitis C. A positive screen needs an RNA test to see if the virus is still present. Read more about the Anti-HCV.
Liver Function Test measures Bilirubin Total, Bilirubin Direct, Bilirubin Indirect and related markers. Enzymes and bilirubin show how the liver is handling bile, protein and everyday metabolic work. Read more about the Liver Function Test.
Some general signs that people in this group notice:
Screening is worth doing even without symptoms if you have risk factors. Jaundice with confusion, drowsiness, vomiting blood or bleeding easily needs emergency care.
Hepatitis B and C are more likely in people with these exposures.
Past blood transfusion before routine screening, shared needles, unsterile injections, tattoos or dental work all carry risk.
Unprotected sex, particularly with multiple partners, can spread hepatitis B and, less often, hepatitis C.
Babies born to mothers with hepatitis B can be infected at birth. This is preventable with timely vaccination and treatment.
Some groups are advised to get screened.
Many hepatitis problems develop quietly and are easier to manage when they are found early. A simple blood test, collected at home, is often the first step. Early testing helps in a few clear ways:
Blood markers often change before symptoms are strong enough to notice. Testing early gives you and your doctor more time to act, while the choices are still simple.
A report in hand helps a doctor decide whether you need a repeat test, a specialist visit, a scan, or only a follow-up date. It replaces guesswork with a number.
Your first report becomes the reference point. Later results are much easier to read when there is an earlier value to compare them with.
Home sample collection and a free report counselling call mean you do not have to take a day off or sit in a waiting room to get started.
HBsAg is the standard screening test. A positive result means the virus is present, and further tests show whether the infection is recent or long-term and how active it is. A doctor guides those next steps.
It means you have been exposed to hepatitis C at some point. Some people clear the virus naturally, so an HCV RNA test is needed to see whether the infection is still active.
Hepatitis C can usually be cured with a course of antiviral tablets prescribed by a doctor. Hepatitis B is usually controlled rather than cured, and many people need regular monitoring. Hepatitis A and E usually clear on their own.
Yes, for hepatitis A and B. Hepatitis B vaccination is part of India's childhood immunisation schedule and is advised for adults at risk who have not been vaccinated. There is no widely available vaccine for hepatitis C.
No fasting is needed for HBsAg or anti-HCV. If a liver function test is drawn in the same sample, follow its instructions.
Yes. Liver enzymes can be normal for long periods in chronic hepatitis, so they cannot replace viral screening tests. Both kinds of tests are often done together.
