What is an HbsAg test?
This test may be used for screening to detect and help to diagnose acute and chronic HBV infections. The hepatitis B surface antigens are the proteins that are present on the surface of the hepatitis B virus. These proteins can be detected at high levels during either an acute or chronic hepatitis B infection.
When is the HbsAg test recommended?
It is recommended:
To detect the hepatitis B virus infection in patients having symptoms suggestive of hepatitis.
To screen for hepatitis B infection following accidental exposure to HBV, e.g. in healthcare workers. Repeat testing is recommended after 6 weeks of post-exposure.
To screen for hepatitis B infection during the pregnancy to prevent the transmission of the infection from mother to child. Immunocompromised patients and infants are more prone to developing severe symptoms of chronic hepatitis.
To screen for hepatitis B infection in individuals who are at the risk of acquiring infection like IV drug users, sex workers, haemodialysis patients, prisoners, etc.
What does it measure?
The HbsAg test measures:
The presence or absence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood.
Hepatitis B viral infection by checking the amount of HBsAg in the blood. Hepatitis B virus spreads through body fluids or unsafe sexual intercourse.
Hepatitis B antigen is expressed on the surface of the hepatitis B virus and its detection is a preliminary test to check the infection at the earliest possible stage. A positive hepatitis B surface antigen test requires further testing to analyse the level of infection in the body.
In some rare cases, uncontrolled levels of hepatitis B infection can lead to chronic hepatitis infection and liver cirrhosis.

You will get the reports within 6 hours after the collection of the blood sample.
