LOINC description : Rapid test for hepatitis B envelope antibody (HBeAb) used as a screen for Hepatitis
B, or to monitor the early course of disease, as the appearance of HBeAb marks the
transition from high levels of virus replication and infectivity to low levels of
replication and infectivity. Available in test strip and cassette formats from manufacturers
in various countries including the US and China, the test can be used to evaluate
the presence of HBeAb in blood and blood products intended for transfusions, and to
detect ongoing or previous hepatitis B viral infection. (As of 8/25/2014, no HBeAb
rapid test kits are approved for use in the United States.) This term was created
for, but not limited in use to, the MEDINOSTICS International HBeAb Rapid Screen Test
kit which is a colloidal gold enhanced immunoassay for the detection of anti-HBe in
human serum, plasma or whole blood. It provides a visual, qualitative result and can
be done in approximately 15 minutes.;
