Hepatitis B & C Screening — treatment in Lahore

Also known as: Hep B Test · Hep C Test · HBsAg · Anti-HCV · Viral Hepatitis Screen

Hepatitis B and C screening is two simple blood tests (HBsAg and anti-HCV) that can detect silent infections years before they cause liver damage. In Pakistan, screening should be routine for every adult.

Overview

Hepatitis B and C are common and largely silent. Screening is two simple blood tests and can be the difference between a treatable infection and decades of preventable liver damage.

Signs & symptoms of Hepatitis B & C Screening

If you recognize one or more of these, it may be worth a consultation:

  • Usually silent
  • Family history of hepatitis or liver disease
  • Past unsafe injections, blood transfusions, or dental work

How Hepatitis B & C Screening is diagnosed

We order tests selectively — only what changes the plan.

  • HBsAg (Hepatitis B)
  • Anti-HCV (Hepatitis C)
  • Liver function tests
