Test Details

The hepatitis B surface antigen test identifies a protein found on the virus when it is active in the body. Its presence indicates infection and may reflect whether the virus is transmissible or affecting liver cells. This test is crucial because hepatitis B can remain silent for years while causing liver damage. It is especially important during pregnancy to help prevent transmission to the baby.
