Understanding Hepatitis B s (Surface) Antibody in New Delhi


What is Hepatitis B s (Surface) Antibody in New Delhi?

The Hepatitis B s (Surface) Antibody  is a blood test that helps detect the presence of antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in New Delhi, this test helps diagnose current or past  hepatitis B infection, assess its severity, and determine whether you have immunity to this disease due to past infection or vaccination.

This test is recommended for infants born to mothers who may have hepatitis B, workers who are likely to be exposed to blood and body fluids, individuals  on kidney dialysis, immunocompromised individuals and those who have a Hepatitis-B positive partner. 

No special preparation is required for this test; you may eat and drink as per your daily routine.

 

What does Hepatitis B s (Surface) Antibody measure?

The Hepatitis B s (Surface) Antibody test measures the presence of antibodies produced by the immune system against hepatitis B virus (HBV) or the hepatitis B vaccine (immunity) in vaccinated individuals. There are two types of antibodies produced in response to the hepatitis B virus: Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgM antibodies mount the first attack against HBV but eventually fades away. IgG antibodies provide long-lasting immune protection against HBV. The immunity can last for many years, but it gradually decreases over time.

A positive test result indicates immunity to hepatitis B, either from past infection and subsequent recovery or from vaccination. The Hepatitis B s (Surface) Antibody test is important to determine whether you have protective immunity against HBV and if you are at risk of contracting the virus in the future. It can also help guide decisions on whether you need the hepatitis B vaccine or a booster shot to maintain immunity.
