Hepatitis B is a viral infection that spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids, such as during childbirth, unprotected sexual activity, or sharing needles. The virus can cause acute illness or progress into a chronic condition, increasing the risk of severe liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Screening and vaccination are effective tools to prevent the spread of the virus and its long-term health effects.

Chronic Hepatitis B, if untreated, can result in severe liver-related conditions. One such complication is liver cirrhosis, where permanent scarring impairs the liver’s ability to function effectively. Over time, the damage may progress to liver failure, where the liver can no longer perform its necessary functions. Additionally, chronic infection significantly increases the risk of developing liver cancer, highlighting the long-term impact of the disease on overall health.

Your visit follows a straightforward process, ensuring efficient and tailored care. Appointments can be booked online or by contacting the clinic. The visit typically includes a consultation, testing or vaccination as required, and a clear explanation of results or follow-up steps. Chronic cases are offered ongoing monitoring plans, while unvaccinated individuals receive guidance to complete their vaccination course.
