No GP referral is required. All samples are analysed at UKAS-accredited laboratories. Results are delivered confidentially through our secure patient portal.
Understanding Core Antibody Testing
Anti-HBc is produced during hepatitis B infection and persists for life, making it a reliable marker of any previous exposure to the virus. IgM anti-HBc specifically indicates recent or acute infection, while total anti-HBc (IgG + IgM) indicates any previous exposure.
This marker is interpreted alongside other hepatitis B tests (HBsAg, anti-HBs) to provide a complete picture of infection status, immunity, and stage of disease.
