Hepatitis B Rapid Test Price in Gwalior

An HBsAg test or the Hepatitis B Surface Antigen test is done to check the presence of HBV surface antigen in the blood. Antigens are proteins of the hepatitis B virus. This test helps doctors determine whether a person has a recent or long-standing infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a blood test for active or chronic hepatitis B diagnosis. An HBsAg test is available at a reasonable price in Gwalior.

Overview of the HBsAg Test

Hepatitis B is a severe liver infection caused by the HBV or hepatitis B virus. For some people, HBV can become chronic, lasting for more than six months. A chronic condition of hepatitis B increases the chances of liver cancer, liver failure, or cirrhosis – a condition that causes permanent damage to the liver. Hepatitis B has proteins known as antigens on its surface that trigger an immune response, and thus, virus-fighting antibodies are produced. This antigen can be found in the blood for weeks after exposure to HBV. They are the earliest signs indicating that a person is infected with hepatitis B. An HBsAg test detects the presence of the hepatitis B virus in the blood.

When is the HBsAg Test Prescribed?

The doctors prescribe this test when they suspect a person has a liver infection due to HBV. Also, one may need to get the HBsAg test done if s/he is experiencing symptoms of hepatitis B that include:

  • Fever
  • Abdominal pain
  • Dark Urine
  • Fatigue
  • Yellowish eyes and skin
  • Loss of appetite

While symptoms start slowly, many people do not show signs until the infection becomes chronic or severe. Moreover, the doctor may order this in the following cases:

  • If the blood test report of a routine health check-up shows abnormal results regarding liver conditions
  • If you are from a vulnerable group who are at risk of developing HBV infection such as HIV-positive people, users of injectable drugs, people with sexual exposure, etc.

You can easily book an HBsAg test at the best cost in Gwalior.
