Overview
The HBsAg test can be administered by any hospital or laboratory in Guwahati. This test detects the presence of a specific antigen called hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood, which indicates an active Hepatitis B infection. With PharmEasy, you can complete the entire testing process—from sample collection to online report delivery—without stepping out of your home.
The HBsAg test is usually recommended when a person exhibits symptoms of Hepatitis B, like pain, loss of appetite, skin or stool discolouration or fatigue, or when they are at a high risk of contracting the virus. A positive HBsAg test result indicates the presence of the virus and requires further medical evaluation and treatment.

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.
HBsAg Hepatitis B Surface Antigen | HBsAb Hepatitis B surface Antibody | HBcAb Hepatitis B Core Antibody | Interpretation |

- | Not infected; at risk for potential Hepatitis B infection |
- | + | - | Has not been infected; does not have the virus |

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.
