The Hepatitis B e-Antigen (HBeAg) test checks for HBeAg, a protein that the hepatitis B virus produces during liver infection. This test helps gauge the level of viral replication occurring in your liver. A positive result signifies high levels of viral replication and increased infectivity, while a negative result suggests lower viral activity and reduced infectivity. The HBeAg test is key to monitoring the progress of hepatitis B treatments, as a shift from a positive to a negative result often indicates effective therapy.
