| Core Tip |
A substantial proportion of hepatitis B virus infections remain undetected due to the asymptomatic nature of silent carriers. This study reveals that incidentally diagnosed hepatitis B surface antigen-positive individuals exhibit significant alterations in hematological and liver function parameters despite lacking clinical symptoms. Findings demonstrate a correlation between viral load and markers of hepatic injury, highlighting the need for vigilant laboratory monitoring. Early identification of subclinical liver involvement offers a critical window for intervention to prevent long-term complications such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This work underscores the importance of integrating routine screening, hematological profiling, and virological assessment in public health strategies targeting hepatitis B virus control. |
