Hepatitis B Surface Antigen
The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen blood test detects the presence of the Hepatitis B virus in the bloodstream. A positive result indicates that the virus is currently present.
This test is used to identify both acute and chronic Hepatitis B infection and is an essential part of screening, diagnosis, and ongoing monitoring.
Surface antigen is usually the first marker to appear following infection and may persist in chronic disease.
Results are interpreted alongside other Hepatitis B markers to determine the stage of infection and level of infectivity.
