The HBsAg Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in human whole blood, serum or plasma.
Hepatitis is a general term meaning inflammation of the liver and can be caused by a variety of different viruses such as hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. Of the many viral causes of human hepatitis, few are of greater global importance than hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B is a serious and common infectious disease of the liver, affecting millions of people throughout the world. The severe pathological consequences of persistent HBV infections include the development of chronic hepatic insufficiency, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition, HBV carriers can transmit the disease for many years. Infection occurs very often in early childhood when it is asymptomatic and often leads to the chronic carrier state. Detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) identifies individuals infected with the HBV. Serum HBV DNA concentrations quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) correlate with disease progression and for decisions to treat and subsequent monitoring. HBsAg is typically detected by sensitive immunoassays that uses antibody to hepatitis B surface. Point-of-care testing offers significant advantages which include reduction of facility costs, rapid delivery of results, early diagnosis, nurses or technicians with a minimum of training, peripheral health care level and rapid initiation of treatment.
