What is HBsAg ?
The HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) test is a blood test that detects the presence of the hepatitis B surface antigen, a protein found on the surface of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This test is used to screen for and diagnose active hepatitis B infection, a liver disease that can become chronic and lead to serious complications, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer if untreated. The HBsAg test is commonly used for routine screening, especially in high-risk populations, such as healthcare workers, people with multiple sexual partners, and those who live in regions with high HBV prevalence. It is also a standard test during prenatal care to prevent mother-to-child transmission and before organ transplants to ensure donor safety. Early detection of hepatitis B through the HBsAg test is essential for initiating timely treatment, which can reduce the risk of liver damage and transmission to others.
