Specimen Type: Blood
Hepatitis Be (HBeAb) Antibody Blood Test Online

Description:

Hepatitis Be (HBeAb) Antibody Test (Labcorp)

This test screens for Hepatitis Be Antibodies.  A Be Antibody test is typically used when a person has been diagnosed with Hepatitis B to determine whether or not they have an active infection.  Be antibody testing is often done in conjunction with Hepatitis Be Antigen testing.  Typically, when the Hepatitis B virus is actively replicating, a person will test positive for Be Antigen and Negative for Be Antibody.  During this time, they are more likely to transmit Hepatitis B to others.  After being successfully treated, most people will test negative for Be Antigen and positive for Be Antibody.  People with a latent Hep B infection are typically recommended to test 1-2 times per year as it is possible for latent Hep B to reactivate periodically. 

For additional testing options, please see our Hepatitis Category

Turnaround for this test is typically 2-6 business days.
