The HBeAg test is a specialized blood test that helps assess active Hepatitis B infection. HBeAg is a viral protein produced by the Hepatitis B virus when it is actively replicating in the liver. If this antigen is present in your blood, it indicates that the virus is highly active and you may be more infectious. A simple blood draw allows our lab to detect and measure HBeAg accurately, giving your doctor critical insight into the activity of the infection. This test is essential for monitoring disease progression, evaluating treatment response, and guiding decisions about antiviral therapy, ensuring timely and targeted care for your liver health.
