What is HBeAg (Hepatitis B Envelope Antigen)?
The HBeAg test detects a protein produced by the Hepatitis B virus, indicating that the virus is actively replicating in your body. Its presence suggests a high level of viral activity and that the person is highly infectious.
Why is this test important?
This test is vital for diagnosing acute and chronic Hepatitis B infection and assessing the degree of viral replication and infectivity. A positive HBeAg result helps guide treatment decisions and predict the likelihood of disease progression and transmission to others.
