Tests are ordered by an independent licensed physician. This service does not replace care from your own doctor. Talk with a healthcare professional about your results.
This test looks for antibodies to the core of the hepatitis B virus. They can show that you have had hepatitis B in the past or have it now. The vaccine does not cause this antibody, so the result helps tell infection from vaccination.
It is usually read together with the surface antigen and surface antibody tests.
Before your visit: no fasting is needed.
