Test Code:
HS
Test Description
It is suitable for the quantitative detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in human serum using the hepatitis B virus surface antigen quantitative detection kit and the EasyCuta MiNi automatic time-resolved fluorescence immunoanalyzer.
Indications for Testing
Initially help judge the amount of hepatitis B virus infection, guide treatment and evaluate the treatment effect.
Condition Description
Hepatitis B is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus. The infection can be acute (short and severe) or chronic (long term). Hepatitis B can cause a chronic infection and puts people at high risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer. It can spread through contact with infected body fluids like blood, saliva, vaginal fluids and semen. It can also be passed from a mother to her baby.
Hepatitis B can be prevented with a safe and effective vaccine. The vaccine is usually given soon after birth with boosters a few weeks later. It offers nearly 100% protection against the virus.
