Product Description
Hepatitis B
The Accu-Hepatitis B Test is a precision immunoassay for the determination of the Hepatitis B antibodies. (HBsAg) in human whole blood.
The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects about 1/4 of the world's population, more than 2 billion people, and is transmitted by exposure to infectious blood or body fluids (including semen and vaginal), and is not normally spread by airborne mechanisms. It may be spread by close personal contact and ingestion of contaminated water or food products.
The HBV infection causes a wide variety of hepatic (liver) problems. These include infection, chronic hepatitis with progression to cirrhosis and liver failure.
Test Profile
The test cassette contains a thin polymer membrane of Hepatitis B antigens. These antigens will capture any Hepatitis B antibodies in the drop of blood sample. If such capture occurs the C and T markers on the cassette will develop coloured lateral bands (see test section to interpret results).
The Accu-Hepatitis Test detects the antibodies up to 8 weeks before there is any visual or biochemical evidence of liver disease or jaundice.
The Hepatitis B virus is a hepaDNA virus and has a circular genome with some partially double-stranded DNA. Viral replication occurs primarily in the liver but the virus spreads to the circulatory system.
The Accu-Hepatitis Test uses a drop of blood from a finger prick, and will detect even low levels of antibody.
Early Symptoms of Hepatitis B
Shortly after infection, the Hepatitis B virus will manifest itself in a general malaise. There is a feeling of ill health, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, body aches, and low level fever. Urine starts to darken and the disease then progresses to a development of jaundice. In some cases the infection may be asymptomatic and be unrecognized.
There is no cure for the disease, and the purpose of early detection is to initiate treatment to reduce the severity and incidence of cirrhosis.
