Hepatitis B Test Panel with Confirmation
The ICare Hepatitis B Test Panel with Confirmation is a comprehensive blood test designed to detect Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and provide a clear understanding of your hepatitis B status. This panel includes initial screening along with confirmatory testing, when appropriate, to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can range from a short-term illness to a chronic condition. Many people experience few or no symptoms, especially in the early stages, making testing one of the most effective ways to identify an infection before liver damage occurs.
Whether you're completing routine health screening, have had a potential exposure, need testing for work or travel, or want peace of mind, ICare provides confidential, laboratory-quality testing with the convenience of concierge care.
What Does This Test Measure?
The Hepatitis B Test Panel evaluates important markers that help determine your Hepatitis B status.
Depending on the panel ordered, testing may include:
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
This marker helps determine whether the Hepatitis B virus is currently present in your body.
A positive result may indicate an active Hepatitis B infection and typically requires additional evaluation.
Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (Anti-HBs)
This test measures antibodies that indicate immunity to Hepatitis B.
A positive result may indicate immunity from previous vaccination or recovery from a past infection.
Hepatitis B Core Antibody (Anti-HBc)
This marker helps identify previous or ongoing exposure to the Hepatitis B virus.
When interpreted alongside the other Hepatitis B markers, it helps your healthcare provider determine whether an infection is current, resolved, or requires additional evaluation.
Confirmatory Testing
If the initial screening identifies findings that require further evaluation, confirmatory testing is automatically performed to help verify the results and provide greater diagnostic confidence.
Your healthcare provider will interpret the complete panel based on your medical history, risk factors, and any additional laboratory findings.
