Symptoms
of HBV may not be apparent for months or years. However, common symptoms
include:
- dark urine
- joint pain
- loss of appetite
- fever
- abdominal discomfort
- weakness
- yellow eyes and skin (jaundice)
Any
symptoms of HBV should be treated right away. In addition, you should let your
doctor know immediately if you have been exposed to hepatitis B. You may be
able to prevent infection (Kahn, A., 2012).
How soon after exposure to Hepatitis B will symptoms appear?
On
average, symptoms appear 90 days (or 3 months) after exposure, but they can
appear any time between 6 weeks and 6 months after exposure (CDC, 2015).
How long do acute Hepatitis B symptoms last?
Symptoms
usually last a few weeks, but some people can be ill for as long as 6 months
(CDC, 2015).
Can a person spread Hepatitis B without having symptoms?
Yes.
Many people with Hepatitis B have no symptoms, but these people can still
spread the virus (CDC, 2015).
What are the symptoms of chronic Hepatitis B?
Some
people have ongoing symptoms similar to acute Hepatitis B, but most individuals
with chronic Hepatitis B remain symptom free for as long as 20 or 30 years.
About 15%–25% of people with chronic Hepatitis B develop serious liver
conditions, such as cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) or liver cancer. Even as
the liver becomes diseased, some people still do not have symptoms, although
certain blood tests for liver function might begin to show some abnormalities
(CDC, 2015).
