Order Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test | IgM Test | Hep BThe Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test (IgM) is a blood test that identifies IgM antibodies directed against the core antigens of the hepatitis B virus.

About Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test | IgM Test | Hep B in Ogden
This assay focuses on a specific class of antibody produced during the early immune response to hepatitis B.
When the body encounters the hepatitis B virus, it produces antibodies against several viral components. The core antigen, a protein associated with the viral capsid, triggers an IgM response that is typically detectable shortly after infection.
IgM antibodies are the first class of immunoglobulins made during a new infection. Their detection generally indicates recent or ongoing viral activity, which distinguishes this test from assays that measure total core antibodies or IgG.
The test is performed on a blood sample and is interpreted alongside other hepatitis B markers, such as surface antigen and surface antibody, to clarify the stage of infection and the immune status of the individual.
