HBV (Hepatitis B Virus)

Rapid CDIA^TM HBV kits are intended for the detection of hepatitis B infection by detecting related antibodies or antigens.

Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. It is a major global health problem. It can cause chronic infection and puts people at high risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer. Hepatitis B is an important occupational hazard for health workers.

A vaccine against hepatitis B has been available since 1982. The blood test panel usually includes HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBe and anti-HBc.
