Hepatitis B Titer - Book Test at Low Cost

The Hepatitis B Titer  test is used to determine if someone has Hepatitis B by measuring the amount of HBsAg in their blood. The Hepatitis B virus spreads mainly through body fluids or unprotected sex. Hep B antigen is found on the surface of the Hepatitis B virus, and it is a way to check for the virus at the earliest possible stage. A positive Hep B surface antigen test needs to be followed up with more tests to determine how nasty the infection is in the body.

Hepatitis B infections that aren't under control can lead to chronic hepatitis infections and liver cirrhosis in some people.

Immunocompromised people and babies are more likely to have severe symptoms of chronic hepatitis.
