About Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test | IgM Test | Hep B in Temecula
This assay is a serological marker used in the staging and interpretation of hepatitis B infection.
When a person is infected with hepatitis B, the immune system produces antibodies against several viral components. The IgM antibody to the core antigen is one of the earliest detectable responses and typically remains positive for a limited period during acute infection.
Clinicians order this test to distinguish acute hepatitis B from chronic or resolved infection. It is often interpreted alongside other markers such as hepatitis B surface antigen, surface antibody, and e antigen to build a complete serological profile.
The test requires a blood sample and is performed in a laboratory setting. Results are reported qualitatively as reactive or non-reactive, and the laboratory may provide an index value to support interpretation.
