Hepatitis B Core Antibodies IgG/IgM

Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test – Detect Past Hepatitis B Infection

What is the Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test?

The Hepatitis B Core Antibody (HBcAb) IgG Test is a blood test used to detect previous exposure to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It helps determine whether a person has had a past or ongoing infection by identifying core antibodies that remain in the blood even after the infection has cleared.

This test is commonly used for:

✔ Detecting previous Hepatitis B infection
✔ Assessing long-term immune response to HBV
✔ Confirming Hepatitis B exposure for medical screening purposes

This test does not determine active infection but rather confirms whether you have ever been infected with Hepatitis B in the past. If needed, further testing can differentiate between past infection, ongoing infection, or immunity.

What This Test Measures

✔ Hepatitis B Core Antibody (IgG) – HBcAb (IgG) – This detects antibodies produced after a past or ongoing Hepatitis B infection. The presence of HBcAb IgG suggests previous exposure but does not confirm active infection or immunity on its own.

📌 Healthcare workers & medical professionals – Routine screening for those working in healthcare who may have been exposed to HBV.
📌 People with abnormal liver function test results – If your doctor suspects past Hepatitis B infection, this test can provide important diagnostic insights.
📌 Individuals needing Hepatitis B screening before travel, employment, or immigration – Some workplaces and travel visas require proof of past infection or immunity.
📌 People born in areas with high Hepatitis B prevalence – In some regions, HBV exposure is common, even in childhood, making testing essential.

Why Testing for Hepatitis B Exposure is Important
