What is the HBeAg Test?
Hepatitis B e Antigen (HBeAg) is a viral protein found in the blood during active Hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. It serves as a marker of high infectivity and viral load.
What is an HBeAg Report Format?
An HBeAg report indicates whether the Hepatitis B virus is actively replicating. It helps assess how infectious the person is and whether antiviral treatment is needed.
Tests Included in HBeAg Report
Test | Description |
HBeAg | Detects the e-antigen of HBV, reflecting active viral replication and infectivity. |
Key Parts of an HBeAg Report
Key Part | Description |
Sample Type | Serum or plasma. |
Test Method | Usually ELISA or rapid immunoassay. |
Result | Reported as Reactive (Positive), Non-Reactive (Negative), or Indeterminate. |
Interpretation | Indicates the level of viral activity and helps determine treatment decisions. |
Reference Range for HBeAg Report
Result | Interpretation |
Non-Reactive | HBeAg not detected; low infectivity |
Reactive | HBeAg detected; high viral replication and infectivity |
Indeterminate | Inconclusive; recommend retesting |
Parameters to Consider in HBeAg Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Reactive HBeAg | Indicates active HBV replication—usually associated with high HBV DNA levels. |
Non-Reactive HBeAg | Suggests reduced viral activity; may still need HBV DNA and ALT monitoring. |
HBeAg Seroconversion | The transition from positive HBeAg to anti-HBe indicates good immune control. |
Correlation with HBV DNA | HBeAg-positive patients typically show higher viral loads. |
Guidelines for HBeAg Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Confidential Handling | Results involve infectious disease; handle with strict confidentiality. |
Follow-Up Testing | HBV DNA quantification and liver function tests recommended. |
Clinical Correlation | Always interpret alongside HBsAg, anti-HBe, and ALT levels. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
Positive (Reactive) | Indicates high viral replication and infectivity—monitor or treat as needed. |
Negative (Non-Reactive) | Suggests lower viral activity or inactive carrier state. |
Indeterminate | Result unclear; repeat test or confirm with molecular assays. |
HBeAg Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
HBeAg | Reflects viral replication status in Hepatitis B infection; helps guide treatment and monitor disease progression. |
