About the test
The test measures hepatitis B surface antigen, HBsAg, using a chemiluminescence assay. Detection of HBsAg may indicate current infection. To assess its nature, the doctor considers other hepatitis B markers, liver measurements and, when necessary, viral DNA.
A single result does not distinguish acute from chronic hepatitis or assess immunity after vaccination. An initially reactive result may require confirmation; recent infection and other circumstances are considered separately.
Why it is ordered
- Detect or clarify the presence of HBsAg.
- Complement investigation of hepatitis B virus.
How to prepare
