Diagnosis of acute, recent, or chronic hepatitis B infection in prenatal patients
This test is not useful during the "window period" of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (ie, after disappearance of HBsAg and prior to appearance of hepatitis B surface antibody: anti-HBs).
This test is not suitable as stand-alone prenatal screening test of HBsAg status in pregnant women.
This test is not offered as a hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see HBAGP / Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Prenatal, Serum.
