Hepatitis B Treatment in Johor Bahru

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a viral liver infection that affects approximately 3–5% of Malaysians. It is transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to child at birth. Most adults who acquire hepatitis B clear the infection, but chronic hepatitis B — where the virus persists for more than 6 months — carries a significant risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) if left unmanaged. Malaysia's national vaccination programme has dramatically reduced new childhood infections, but adults should be screened.

Symptoms of Hepatitis B

✓Most people with chronic hepatitis B have no symptoms for years
✓Fatigue and general malaise
✓Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) in acute infection
✓Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite (acute phase)
✓Upper right abdominal discomfort
✓Dark urine and pale stools (acute phase)

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

Get screened for hepatitis B if you have not been vaccinated, have a family member with hepatitis B, were born in Malaysia before the universal vaccination era, or engage in activities with transmission risk. Seek urgent care for sudden jaundice, severe abdominal pain, or confusion — these may indicate acute liver failure.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah provides hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) testing to determine if you have active hepatitis B infection, and hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) testing to check vaccination immunity. For confirmed chronic hepatitis B, we assess liver function through LFT, viral load (HBV DNA), and abdominal ultrasound. Management of active chronic hepatitis B with antiviral therapy and specialist hepatology referral is arranged. We also offer hepatitis B vaccination for non-immune individuals.

How is hepatitis B diagnosed?▼
Hepatitis B is diagnosed through a blood test checking for HBsAg (surface antigen, indicates active infection) and anti-HBs (antibody, indicates immunity from vaccination or past infection). Additional tests including viral load, liver function, and ultrasound are arranged for confirmed cases to assess disease activity.
Is hepatitis B urgent — should I see a doctor soon?▼
If you have not been tested and have risk factors, booking a screening test is important even without symptoms, as chronic hepatitis B is often silent until advanced. If you develop jaundice, severe fatigue, or abdominal swelling — seek prompt medical care as these indicate liver complications requiring urgent assessment.
