Does the Down syndrome screening test detect if the pregnant woman has hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

I am 35 years old this year, and recently I always feel weak all over. Please ask; does the Down syndrome screening test detect if a pregnant woman has hepatitis B?

Doctor's answer:

The Down syndrome screening cannot accurately detect hepatitis B; it primarily uses symptoms and blood tests to determine the risk of having a fetus with Down syndrome or intellectual disabilities. For hepatitis B, it is necessary to conduct a thorough liver function test to confirm the diagnosis. It is recommended that you maintain a positive mood, avoid negative emotions, get adequate rest, follow a balanced diet, enhance nutrition, engage in appropriate exercise, and strengthen your physical fitness. Friends who have been diagnosed with the disease should maintain a good attitude and face the illness with a positive mindset. Only in this way can we improve the patient's immunity and their belief in fighting the disease. I believe that this approach will help drive the disease away.
