Hepatitis B test
Hepatitis B virus can be detected in stool sample?
HBV is transmitted through infected body fluids, including blood, semen, and vaginal fluids (including menstrual blood). It also can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her child at or near the time of birth.
There are several different HBV tests. These are the HBV tests most commonly done:
1. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is the earliest sign of an active hepatitis B infection.
2. HBV DNA testing checks for genetic material (DNA) from the hepatitis B virus. The HBV DNA tests measure how much genetic material is present.
3. Hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) is an HBV protein that is only present during an active HBV infection
4. Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) usually appears about 4 weeks after HBsAg disappears
