What Is This Test?
Detects antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc).
Why this test is performed?
Shows whether a person has ever been infected with hepatitis B. Anti-HBc does not develop after vaccination, so it helps tell past infection from vaccine immunity.
Who should take this test?
Jaundice, nausea, abdominal pain or swelling, alcohol use, fatty liver, hepatitis risk, or people on long-term medicines.
Test Preparation
No fasting needed.
