The Hepatitis B Core Antibody (HBCAB) IgM serum test is conducted to detect the presence of Hepatitis B core antibody IgM in the blood. This test helps in diagnosing acute or recent Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The presence of HBCAB IgM indicates an ongoing active infection or a recent exposure to HBV.

The symptoms of Hepatitis B include:

  • Fatigue: Individuals with Hepatitis B may experience extreme tiredness and lack of energy.

  • Abdominal pain: Some individuals may experience pain or discomfort in the abdominal region.
  • Loss of appetite: Hepatitis B can cause a decrease in appetite and weight loss.
  • Nausea and vomiting: Digestive issues like nausea and vomiting are often observed in individuals with Hepatitis B.


A blood sample is required for the Hepatitis B Core Antibody (HBCAB) IgM serum test. A healthcare professional will collect a blood sample from a vein in the individual's arm using a sterile needle and vial. The procedure is quick and relatively painless.

Once the blood sample is collected, it will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. In the laboratory, the sample will undergo specific testing to determine the presence of Hepatitis B core antibody IgM. The test uses advanced technology to detect the antibodies accurately.
