HBSAg Card Test
Assessment for Hepatitis B Infection
The Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) Test is a rapid diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen in the bloodstream. This antigen is a protein located on the surface of the virus and is typically present during active Hepatitis B infection. The test plays a crucial role in early detection, enabling prompt medical intervention and treatment of Hepatitis B. By identifying HBsAg in blood samples, healthcare providers can quickly confirm the presence of the virus, allowing for immediate initiation of appropriate care measures. This rapid diagnostic capability helps prevent the spread of Hepatitis B and reduces the risk of complications associated with the disease. Early diagnosis through the HBsAg test facilitates timely medical management and supports better outcomes for individuals affected by Hepatitis B.
