Hepatitis B needs immediate treatment, and PharmEasy Labs produces HBsAg reports in record time.
Hepatitis B virus or HBV causes an infection called hepatitis when the virus enters the body of a healthy person through contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of an infected person.
Hepatitis in itself often triggers no symptoms. The infection can affect the liver and lead to more serious health complications like cirrhosis of the liver and even liver cancer. That's what makes hepatitis dangerous.
There are two types of hepatitis B infections-
- Acute hepatitis B infection- This viral infection can last for a few weeks and causes moderate to serious liver damage.
- Chronic hepatitis B infection- this is a lifelong disease that may lead to liver failure.
The HBsAg test can detect hepatitis, but to find out if the infection is acute or chronic, further testing is needed. IgM and antiHBc tests can differentiate between the two.

The cost of an HBsAg test can vary depending on various factors. Nevertheless, the typical price for an HBsAg test at PharmEasy in Allahabad (currently known as Prayagraj) ranges from INR 359 to INR 599. Feel free to compare HBsAg test prices in different major Indian cities below.

Test Necessity
Doctors will want the HBsAg test done if-
- A person has been exposed to the hepatitis B virus mainly through sexual intercourse.
- Someone is at high risk of getting hepatitis B, such as people with HIV
- An infant's mother tested positive for hepatitis B
Risk factors of hepatitis B may also necessitate the HBsAg test-
- Sexual activities between men
- Sharing a used needle
- Poor sanitary arrangements
- Living in a community with hepatitis B-positive people
- Not having been vaccinated against hepatitis B
The HBsAg test can also reveal if a person is a carrier of hepatitis B.
Once treatment commences, your doctor may recommend the test at regular intervals to see how well you are responding to treatment.
Test Preparation
No fasting or any preparation is required for the HBsAg test. Let your doctor know if you are under any medication because if its ingredients have the potential to affect the result, you will be recommended to take the medicine/s later.
During the HBsAg Test
The process of getting tested for hepatitis B is simple. A PharmEasy Labs phlebotomist will go to your place and with a vein finder, locate the correct vein in your arm to draw a small quantity of blood from. The sample will be taken to the lab for analysis.
