The doctor will prescribe an HBsAg test to detect hepatitis B, which is a form of liver disease. During a hepatitis infection, the surface antigens are present in the bloodstream, and the concentration of this hepatitis B surface antigen gives the doctor an overview of the severity of the disease, i.e. if it is acute or chronic.

The doctor will prescribe the HBsAg test if you show any of these symptoms:

• Abdominal pain
• Vomiting
• Appetite loss
• Fever
• Fatigue
• Swollen red blood vessels on the skin that are visible
• Dark coloured urine

Some people are at risk of developing hepatitis B. The risk factors are:

• People who are HIV positive
• People using regular injection drugs
• Organ, blood, tissue, and semen donors
• People undergoing chemotherapy
• People undergoing haemodialysis
• Pregnant women
• People with multiple sexual partners
• Infants with mothers who have hepatitis B
• People with chronic kidney disease
• People with chronic liver conditions
• People who have travelled from countries that have a high hepatitis B rate

If hepatitis B is undiagnosed, it can cause a lot of complications and can lead to eventual death. The HBsAg test is important for timely diagnosis and subsequent treatment to manage this condition.

There are no special preparations that need to be done before the HBsAg test. The test does not require fasting, and can be booked for any convenient time slot.

During the HBsAg Test

After the HBsAg test has been booked, the phlebotomist will arrive at the specified location to collect the blood sample. The process is hygienic and safe, and they use new sterilized needles and gloves. The vein finder device helps to identify the best vein to draw blood from, minimizing the discomfort. Once the blood is collected and stored in barcoded vials, it is safely transported to the laboratory for testing.
