Hepatitis Blood Test
Apr 17, 2026
Hepatitis Blood Test
A hepatitis blood test screens for hepatitis B and C viral infections—liver infections that can remain silent for years or decades while causing progressive damage, eventually leading to cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer if undiagnosed and untreated. Modern treatments can cure hepatitis C and control hepatitis B, making early detection life-saving.
At Blood Test London, hepatitis testing costs from £265 with results in 2-3 days. A doctor always reviews every result.
