Hepatitis B (HBsAg) (100. Rs./-)
Hepatitis B (HBsAg) (100. Rs./-)
This assay detects the first serological marker of Hepatitis B as early as 4-16 weeks after
exposure. It persists during acute illness and disappears 12-20 weeks after onset of
symptoms. The titers rise rapidly during the period of viral replication and is frequently
associated with infectivity. Persistence of HBsAg for more than 6 months indicates
development of carrier state or chronic liver disease.
The enzyme immunoassay method for the detection of Hepatitis B surface antigen is a highly
sensitive screening test and can therefore yield false positive results. The proportion of false
reactives will depend on the sensitivity and specificity of the test kit. Hence it is
recommended that a positive result of HBsAg must be be confirmed using a different enzyme immunoassay kit or by using a confirmatory assay based on neutralisation with human anti hepatitis B surface antibody.Based upon clinical history it may become necessary to test for presence of other markers of
hepatitis B virus infection.
NOTE: It is a screening test result may be confirmed by another methods if indicated .
