About Hepatitis B Immunity Status Test | Hep B in Long Beach
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to chronic disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.
The immune system produces antibodies in response to hepatitis B vaccination or infection. IgG antibodies generally indicate longer-term immunity, while IgM antibodies are typically associated with recent or acute infection.
This test measures the presence of these antibodies to assess whether an individual has protective immunity. It does not diagnose acute infection; rather, it helps clarify immune status.
Results are typically available within one to three business days. As with any lab test, preparation instructions provided by the laboratory should be followed to ensure accurate results.
