Hepatitis B Core Antibody Blood Test


Hepatitis Core Antibody Test

This blood test is often required by IVF clinics. Most patients who request this test require a full lab report for this purpose - Home Diagnostics can provide this service.

The test is a total antibody test (IgM and IgG antibodies).


What does the test result tell me?

If the result is negative, this means that you do not have Hepatitis B and you have never had hepatitis B. 

If the result is postive, further tests are required to determine if this is a past infection or a current infection. The hepatitis B surface antigen test will detect a current infection.


Symptoms of Hepatitis

With Hepatitis B, most people will experience symptoms in the acute phase. These might include the following:

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Dark urine

  • Jaundiced skin and eyes

  • Fever

Some people may only experience mild flu-like symptoms.


How is Hepatitis passed?

Hepatitis B is often contracted via sexual contact as it is present in semen, blood and vaginal fluids. 

When to test for Hepatitis B Core antibody

This test for the Hepatitis B Core antibody is usually requested as part of a process for medical treatment or an entry requirement to a country as a resident. The test is therefore requested on demand. This test is not part of a regular screening programme.


Why get tested?

Most patients requesting the Hepatitis B core antibody test require it to demonstrate that they do not have this infection and have never had it. IVF clinics and visa requirements are common reasons to request this test. Home Diagnostics is accustomed to handling these requests.
