About Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test | IgM Test | Hep B in Phoenix
This test looks for a specific class of antibodies produced during an active immune response to hepatitis B.
When the body encounters the hepatitis B virus, the immune system produces antibodies against several viral components. The IgM antibody to the core antigen is among the first to appear, typically rising around the time symptoms begin or shortly after.
Detecting IgM core antibodies helps distinguish a recent, acute infection from a past or chronic one. Other hepatitis B markers, such as surface antigen and surface antibody, provide complementary information about the stage of infection and immune status.
Results are interpreted alongside a person's clinical history and other hepatitis B test results. A positive IgM core antibody result generally supports a diagnosis of acute hepatitis B, while a negative result makes recent infection less likely.
