HBsAg RAPID TEST

This test looks for hepatitis B surface antigens in your blood. The test is used to find out whether you have a recent or long-standing infection from the hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV has proteins called antigens on its surface that cause your immune system to make antibodies. Hepatitis B surface antigens can be found in your blood within several weeks after the infection starts. They are one of the earliest signs of a hepatitis B infection. HBV is 1 of 5 hepatitis viruses. The others are hepatitis A, C, D, and E. Most hepatitis infections are caused by these 5 viruses. HBV is spread through blood, seminal fluid, and vaginal secretions. It can take several months to develop symptoms of hepatitis B after you become infected. The virus causes an infection in the liver. In most cases, this virus clears up on its own within 6 months. But in a small portion of adults and a larger portion of children, the virus doesn't go away. This is especially true for newborns. This is called having a chronic infection. It may lead to liver cell damage, scarring, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. Hepatitis B surface antigens are an early sign of an acute infection, and they are also present during chronic, or long-term, infection.

Why do I need this test?

You may need this test if your healthcare provider believes you have a liver infection caused by HBV. You may need this test if you have symptoms of hepatitis B. Symptoms often start slowly. Many people have no symptoms or only feel like they have a mild case of the flu. You may not have symptoms until the infection becomes severe or chronic.

The most common symptom is extreme tiredness. Other symptoms may include:

Nausea
Loss of appetite
Muscle aches
Fever
Yellowed skin and eyes (jaundice)
Dark-colored urine
Belly (abdominal) pain
Swelling and confusion. This is in extreme cases.

You may also have this test if you have a history that puts you at risk for being in contact with the virus. Risk factors for hepatitis B infection include:

Having sex with someone infected with the virus
Living in close contact with someone who has the virus
Being a man who has sex with men
Being a child born to a mother who has the virus
Sharing needles for IV (intravenous) drug use
Working in a healthcare center where you are exposed to blood
Getting a blood transfusion or organ transplant. This is less common with active screening.

You may also have this test several times if you've already been diagnosed with hepatitis B to see whether your infection is getting better.
