Hepatitis B Test

Is the hepatitis B test necessary

Unlike hepatitis A, this strain can be passed on to the foetus during childbirth. Nine out of ten infected babies, if left untreated, become chronic carriers and are at a risk of developing a more serious liver disease.

When should the hepatitis B test be taken

This disease is generally tested in the fifth month of pregnancy. If the test results indicate that you do have hepatitis B, it is possible for your doctors to treat your baby right at birth, so that future complications are prevented.
