Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Surface Antigen
Performed at multiple locations.
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Surface Antigen is a qualitative enzyme immunoassay for the detection of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) in human serum. HBsAG is the earliest sign of an active HBV infection. The antigen may be present before symptoms of an infection are present, and if the antigen exists for more than 6 months, it could be considered a chronic infection. This assay is intended for the critical screening of organ and tissue donors and the immunocompromised population.
ProcedureThis is an qualitiative ezyme immunoassay. The test has been cleared or approved for diagnostic use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Same day (within 8-12 hours from receipt of specimen), Monday through Friday. STAT testing is available. Call for more information.
