HbsAb

The hepatitis B surface antibody test is used to determine if someone has the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This test looks for antibodies that have been made in response to the protein on the virus's surface. Infection in the past and a history of immunity or immunity from a Hep B vaccine are signs of a positive test. This virus is usually found in the liver. If it gets there, it can cause liver damage, scarring, and cirrhosis.

You might get this test from your doctor to see if you've had the virus before or if your vaccine worked. It's also a good idea to watch how well HepB treatment is working.
