Test Necessity
Hepatitis B can be a deadly disease if it is not treated on time. There can be various complications caused by this disease such as liver failure. Therefore, detection of hepatitis B surface antigen becomes a crucial checkpoint for proper diagnosis and treatment.
If you are having symptoms like fever, fatigue, vomiting, loss of appetite, pain in the lower abdomen, or swollen blood vessels, your doctor may ask you to take an HBsAg test for confirmation. With PharmEasy Labs your report can be ready within a short period so that you can consult your doctor for an appropriate treatment plan.
Test Preparation
The level of HBsAg is not affected by the type of food items you consume. Therefore, HBsAg does not require any fasting before the test. You can drink a good amount of water before the test for accurate results. However, if your doctor has assigned more tests along with HBsAg, you may require fasting as per the requirement. It is helpful to consult your doctor regarding this.
During the HBsAg Test
The HBsAg test is done by evaluating the amount of HBsAg in your blood serum. For this, a blood sample is collected by an experienced phlebotomist. He will visit your home to collect the sample with the help of sterile syringes. A vein finder will be used to locate your vein. After that, the blood is collected in a collection tube. In the testing lab, the sample is allowed to clot so that the serum can be extracted. The test is performed using a very hygienic procedure.

Test Result Interpretation
While the blood culture does examine HBsAg, the readings can only be comprehended when the complete Hepatitis B test panel has been taken into consideration.
Unlike many other tests, the HBsAg screening test does not contain values and ranges. Instead, it only indicates whether the individual is positive or negative on the parameters examined. The HBsAg test by ELISA or CLIA method gives a quantitative value of the HBsAg. The permutation of positives and negatives on the three readings leads to certain conclusions. However, since it is rather complex, the HBsAg test report is best studied by a doctor.
