    What is a HBsAg (ECLIA) Test?

    The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) test plays a crucial role in diagnosing hepatitis B, an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). With a large portion of the global population affected—about one in three people—and 300 million individuals suffering from chronic infection, early diagnosis is important due to the severe consequences of the disease. The HBsAg ECLIA (electrochemiluminescence immunoassay analyser) test checks for the Hepatitis B surface antigen in blood samples to determine whether the infection is new or ongoing.

    HBV, one of the five known hepatitis viruses (A, B, C, D, and E), is spread via blood, vaginal secretions, and semen. Hepatitis B symptoms may take months to appear after infection. Most individuals will clear the virus within six months, but a small number of adults and a higher proportion of children, particularly newborns, may develop chronic infections. These chronic cases can lead to liver conditions such as cirrhosis (severe liver scarring that affects liver function), fibrosis (development of scar tissue in the liver), or liver cancer.

    For people living in Noida, Orange Health Labs offers a convenient home testing service for HBsAg, providing timely and accurate results without the need to leave home. Early testing is essential for initiating treatment and controlling the spread of the infection.

    HBsAg (ECLIA) Test Parameters

    This test measures only one component: the hepatitis B surface antigen. Antigens are substances that the body recognises as harmful, including microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Upon encountering antigens, the body activates an immune response, generating antibodies to neutralise or eliminate these harmful agents. The HBsAg test detects these hepatitis B surface antigens, which are located on the HBV’s surface in the bloodstream.

    HBsAg is the first serological marker that appears in the course of an acute hepatitis B infection. It can be detected from one week up to nine weeks after exposure to HBV, with the average time being roughly one-month post-exposure. Detecting it early through the HBsAg test is important for prompt treatment and effective disease management.

    HBsAg (ECLIA) Test Preparation

    To ensure accurate results and a smooth experience, it's important to follow proper preparation guidelines for the HBsAg hepatitis test:

    • Pre-requisites

    No special preparation is needed for the HBsAg ECLIA test, and you can continue eating and drinking normally unless your doctor provides any other instructions.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The HBsAg blood test can be performed at any time. However, it is advisable to get tested immediately if you have symptoms of hepatitis B or think you might have been exposed to the virus.

    • Who Should Take the Test

    The test is recommended for people with symptoms like abdominal pain, severe fatigue, or jaundice. It is also advised for those with risk factors, such as having sexual contact with an infected person, sharing needles, working in environments with blood exposure, or being born to a mother with hepatitis B. Individuals already diagnosed with hepatitis B might need this test to assess the progression of their condition and the effectiveness of treatment.

    • Cautions Before Taking the HBsAg Test

    Inform your treating doctor about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are taking, as these could affect the test results. Also, mention any recent vaccinations or illnesses that might influence the outcome.

    Why Take a HBsAg (ECLIA) Test?

    If your doctor suspects a liver infection from HBV, the HBsAg ECLIA test is essential. This test is particularly important if you display symptoms of hepatitis B, which can emerge gradually and might not be noticeable until the infection is advanced or chronic. Many individuals may have no symptoms or only mild flu-like symptoms.

    Common symptoms include:

    • Abdominal pain

    • Extreme fatigue

    • Loss of appetite

    • Nausea

    • Muscle aches

    • Fever

    • Skin and eye yellowing (jaundice)

    • Dark urine

    • Swelling and confusion (in severe cases)

    The HBsAg test is crucial for those with certain risk factors for hepatitis B, such as:

    • Being born to a mother who carries the virus

    • Living with someone infected with HBV

    • Engaging in sexual activities with an HBV-positive person

    • Using needles for intravenous drug use

    • Working in a healthcare environment with blood exposure

    • Sexual contact between males

    • Having a history of blood transfusions or organ transplants (less common due to thorough screening)

    Additionally, if you have a previous hepatitis B diagnosis, this test may be repeated to assess the infection's progress and treatment response.

    HBsAg (ECLIA) Test Results & Interpretation

    Understanding your HBsAg blood test findings is critical for assessing your health condition and the next stages in your treatment plan. Interpretation of the test results can be done as follows:

    TestBiological Reference (S/C Units)Interpretation
    Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Serum, Chemiluminescent Immunoassay)Non-reactive or ReactiveNormal results are negative or nonreactive, indicating no hepatitis B surface antigen was detected. A positive or reactive test result suggests an active HBV infection.

    Please be aware that a negative test result does not ensure that you are free from exposure to or infection with the hepatitis B virus. HBsAg levels can be too low to detect during both the early and later stages of the infection.

    While the HBsAg test detects whether hepatitis B surface antigen is present, it does not measure the amount of HBV viral load. An additional test is required to determine the viral load.

    The hepatitis virus family includes five types: A, B, C, D, and E.

    The hepatitis B virus spreads through exposure to infected bodily fluids such as blood, semen, and vaginal fluids. This can happen through unprotected sexual activity, needle sharing, or during childbirth from an infected mother to her infant.
