Is jaundice a common symptom of hepatitis b?

No: Jaundice can occur in acute hepatitis b or chronic hepatitis b infection but it is rare. Hepatitis b more commonly is a silent infection until complications occur. Talk to your doctor about screening.

No: Although jaundice can occur with hepatitis b, it is not common. Most of the time, hepatitis b is first diagnosed from abnormal liver function tests. You should consult with your doctor if you are concerned of hepatitis b.
