What is a Australian Antigen Test Test in Mumbai ?
What is Australian Antigen Test?
The Australian Antigen Test detects the hepatitis B surface antigen in blood. This antigen shows that hepatitis B virus is present. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests worldwide and plays a key role in both preventive screening and the investigation of liver disease.
What does Australian Antigen Test measure?
It helps tell if an infection is current and if a person can spread the virus to others. Doctors use it to diagnose acute or chronic hepatitis B. It is also used for screening before procedures, in pregnancy, and for monitoring treatment or follow-up after exposure. Results guide decisions about treatment, isolation, and further testing.
What symptoms suggest Australian Antigen Test may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Australian Antigen Test when a patient reports fatigue or persistent low energy, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark amber or tea-coloured urine, pale or clay-coloured stools, upper right abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling, and unexplained weight loss. Sample collection for Mumbai is available at labs and at home across Bandra, Andheri, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
How is Australian Antigen Test performed?
At a GetVisit-partnered lab in Bandra or Andheri, Mumbai, a certified phlebotomist cleans the inner elbow, locates a vein, and draws the required blood (typically 5 to 10 mL). The procedure takes 3 to 5 minutes. You feel a brief pinch at insertion and mild pressure during collection, then can eat, drive, and resume all activities immediately afterwards.
How accurate is Australian Antigen Test?
For Australian Antigen Test, alcohol within 24 hours and strenuous exercise can temporarily raise liver values, so avoid both before testing. GetVisit's NABL labs in Bandra and Andheri, Mumbai process the sample on calibrated analysers with routine quality checks.
Are there any risks to Australian Antigen Test?
A blood draw for Australian Antigen Test is very safe. Occasionally there is minor bruising or light-headedness; sitting for a couple of minutes afterwards at the Bandra or Andheri, Mumbai collection point usually prevents this.
Did you know?
The Australian antigen test detects SARS‑CoV‑2 proteins to quickly identify current COVID‑19 infection.

Why Take a Australian Antigen Test Test in Mumbai ?
When does a doctor order Australian Antigen Test?
Australian Antigen Test is usually part of a hepatitis B or viral hepatitis screening panel. Doctors order it when patients have symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, or unexplained fatigue, or after a possible exposure.
Who should get Australian Antigen Test done in Mumbai?
Mumbai has among India's highest documented rates of alcohol consumption, contributing to a significant alcoholic liver disease burden across all socioeconomic groups. NAFLD affects an estimated 25 to 35% of India's urban adults , the majority unaware. Regular liver testing in Mumbai's residential areas including Andheri and Malad enables lifestyle intervention before irreversible scarring occurs. Patients recovering from hepatitis, those in alcohol recovery, and anyone with persistently unexplained fatigue also benefit from regular liver monitoring.
What conditions can Australian Antigen Test help diagnose?
It helps diagnose acute or chronic hepatitis B and identify carriers. Abnormal results can come from recent infection, chronic disease, or exposure risks like unprotected sex or shared needles, and family or household contact may make testing important.
What do Australian Antigen Test results mean?
ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.
How often should Australian Antigen Test be repeated?
Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.
What happens after Australian Antigen Test results are ready?
Results are delivered to your phone and stored securely on GetVisit. Any value the laboratory flags as critical is escalated for urgent review, and for everything else your doctor or a verified specialist can guide the next step at your convenience.
