About the test
This test checks for the presence of Hepatitis B Core Antibody in your blood. It helps in identifying a current or past Hepatitis B infection. It's important to note that this test does not differentiate between the types of antibodies (IgG and IgM) that appear at the onset of symptoms or before. These antibodies can remain in the body for years after recovering from the illness and might be the only sign of a Hepatitis B infection.
Who might consider it:
This test is particularly useful for individuals who might have been exposed to Hepatitis B or are showing symptoms of the infection. It's also valuable for those who need to confirm past infection or recovery.
