LOINC description : A rapid screening test to detect hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) in human blood to diagnose
previous or ongoing hepatitis B infections, and also can be used to screen for the
presence of HBeAg in blood products for transfusion. Rapid tests for Hepatitis B e
(envelope) antigen (HBeAg) are available in test strip and cassette formats from manufacturers
in various countries including the US and China. (As of 08/25/2014, no HBeAg rapid
test kits are approved for use in the United States). This term was based on, but
not limited in use to, the Medinostics International HBeAg Rapid Screen Test kit that
uses a colloidal gold enhanced immunoassay for the determination of anti-HBe antigen
(HBeAg) in human whole blood, serum or plasma. Testing can be done in 15-20 minutes.;
