PRM - HBsAg near me in Vellore

The PRM - HBsAg test screens for Hepatitis B infection by detecting the surface antigen of the virus in the blood. This antigen appears soon after exposure and indicates that the person is currently infected and may be contagious. If HBsAg remains detectable for more than six months, it suggests a chronic infection requiring medical care or even asymptomatic carrier state. Doctors may recommend this test for individuals with liver-related symptoms, those at occupational risk (like healthcare workers), blood donors, or people exposed to infected blood or body fluids. Early detection through this test is vital for initiating treatment, preventing further liver damage, and reducing the spread of infection through vaccination and awareness.
