Test Necessity
Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that can cause acute and chronic liver diseases. Chronic liver infection can often lead to cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer, which may prove fatal. The Hepatitis B virus spreads through contact with the body fluids of an infected person. The most common causes of the spread of this virus include unsafe sex, sharing of needles, razors, and toothbrushes with infected individuals, getting tattoos and body piercings from mother to child at birth, or direct contact with the blood or open sores of an infected person.
The prevalence of this infection is high in India, with millions of HBV carriers. Early detection of this infection is crucial for timely treatment of the infected individual as well as preventing it from spreading to others. A Hepatitis B infection may not show symptoms in the early stages of infection. Hence, apart from individuals showing symptoms of a liver disorder, this test is also advised for those who are at a high risk of infection and for pregnant women.
The HBsAg test is also used to help determine the severity of the infection, advise treatment and monitor the body’s response to the treatment.
Test Preparation
The HBsAg test is a simple blood test that does not require fasting or any other specific preparations. However, you may want to check with your medical practitioner about continuing with any ongoing medications before the test.
During the HBsAg Test
A PharmEasy phlebotomist will come as per appointment for sample collection. A sealed kit containing one-time-use materials is used for each test. Proper preventive measures are taken while collecting the sample. A Vein Finder machine helps detect a vein in one of the hands, from which blood may be withdrawn. A small needle puncture is made to withdraw blood, which is then stored in an airtight, labeled vial. Once done, the needle puncture is cleaned with an antiseptic-soaked cotton swab and sealed with a bandage. The medical waste is responsibly disposed of. The whole process takes no more than 5 to 10 minutes.
