What are the chances of hepatitis B being inherited?

Hepatitis B is not a genetic disease, so it is not inherited and the chance of inheritance is 0. Hepatitis B can indeed be transmitted from mother to child, called mother-to-child transmission. Without appropriate interruptions, the probability of hepatitis B transmission from mother to newborn through mother-to-child transmission is relatively high. If appropriate interruption measures are applied, the probability of mother-to-child transmission can be greatly reduced to less than 2%, which is close to the 0% category. Patients with hepatitis B who are pregnant must do such measures to interrupt mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B. The first step is to give the child the hepatitis B vaccine as well as the hepatitis B immunoglobulin at the time of birth. If the pregnant woman has a particularly high viral load during pregnancy, she can also take antiviral drugs at some point.
