HBsAg Test (ECLIA)
The HBsAg test detects the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood, helping identify active hepatitis B infection at an early stage.About Test
The HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen) is a blood test used to detect hepatitis B infection, a viral disease that affects the liver. This test identifies the presence of HBsAg, a protein found on the surface of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), indicating an active infection. Hepatitis B can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) and may lead to serious complications such as liver damage, cirrhosis, or liver cancer if not detected early. The HBsAg test using ECLIA technology provides highly accurate and early detection, even before symptoms appear. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent disease progression and reduce the risk of transmission to others.Why This Test
This test is recommended to detect hepatitis B infection early, screen individuals at risk, evaluate liver infection symptoms, and monitor known hepatitis B cases.Who Should Take
This test is advised for individuals with symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, or those at risk due to exposure to infected blood, unsafe injections, unprotected sex, or healthcare-related exposure.Preparation
