How To Contract Hepatitis B And What You Should Do

8. Symptoms

Often there are no immediate symptoms of acute and chronic hepatitis B, and it may go undiagnosed until a blood sample is taken during a regular physical exam. Some people never know they have it until they are diagnosed with cirrhosis or liver cancer. If symptoms do appear, they could include headaches, fatigue, mild fever, nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, tan-colored stools, dark urine, jaundice, and an uncomfortable feeling on the right side of the abdomen.
