What is chronic hepatitis B?
Chronic hepatitis B is caused as a result of infection HBV (hepatitis B virus), hepatitis B patients and HBV carriers are the main source of infection.
Symptoms of chronic hepatitis B including fatigue, fear of food, nausea, abdominal distension, liver pain and other symptoms. The liver is large and moderately hard with mild tenderness.
Routes of transmission
1, Mother-to-child transmission
Mother-to-child transmission is the main routes of transmission of hepatitis B. If the mother is positive for hepatitis B E antigen, and the children have not been injected with hepatitis B vaccine, it is likely that the children will become the carrier of HBV.
2, Blood transmission
Even very small amount of blood or body fluids contaminated HBV can lead to HBV infection. It can be transmitted through blood in medical procedures such as surgery, hemodialysis, organ transplantation. Furthermore, daily behaviors like sharing of razors or toothbrushes, pedicures, tattooing, and piercing of ear-rings can also lead to transmission of HBV from damaged skin or mucous membranes.
3, Sexual contact transmission
HBV can be detected in semen, so it can be transmitted sexually. Below the condition that did not take contraception, if both sides of husband and wife have one party to have hepatitis B, especially the DNA quantity of HBV is higher, the possibility that infuses to the other side is larger still.
4, Other transmission channels
Besides the three routes above, saliva, sweat, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk also contain HBV, they can also be the channels for spreading HBV. However, daily performance like hugs and shaking hands will not transmit HBV. So with healthy living habits, there is no need to be too afraid of HBV carriers.
About HBV detection
HBsAg is the coat protein of HBV. By the detection of HBsAg, we can know whether someone is infected with HBV or not.
Singclean HBsAg Test kit (Colloidal Gold) is used for the in vitro qualitative detection of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) in human serum and plasma samples.
Singclean HBsAg Test kit (Colloidal Gold) uses colloidal gold immunochromatographic technology. The reagent is coated with HBsAg monoclonal antibody (test line T) and goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody (control line C) on nitrocellulose membrane.
