Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: The HBsAg test is the primary tool to identify an active Hepatitis B infection. Detecting this surface antigen early is crucial for preventing liver cirrhosis and transmission.

What is the HBsAg Test?

This test looks for the actual virus protein in your blood. A positive result means you are currently infected and can pass the virus to others, whether the infection is acute or chronic.

Why get tested?

  • Screening for high-risk individuals or healthcare workers.
  • Pre-employment or prenatal medical checks.
  • If you have symptoms like jaundice or dark urine.
