Hepatitis Bs (Surface) Antigen (HBsAg) - Book Test at Low Cost

The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) test is used to determine if someone has Hepatitis B by measuring how much HBsAg there is in their blood. The Hepatitis B virus spreads mostly through body fluids or unprotected sex. Hep B antigen is found on the surface of the Hepatitis B virus, and it is a way to check for the virus at the earliest possible stage. A positive Hep B surface antigen test needs to be followed up with more tests to determine how bad the infection is in the body.

Hepatitis B infections that aren't under control can lead to chronic hepatitis infections and liver cirrhosis in some people. Immuno-compromised people and babies are more likely to have severe symptoms of chronic hepatitis.
