Short Name: HBe-AbSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Anti-HBe is an antibody produced in response to the Hepatitis B e antigen. In those who have recovered from acute hepatitis B infection, anti-HBe will be present along with anti-HBc and anti-HBs. In those with chronic hepatitis B, usually anti-HBe becomes positive when the virus goes into
Read moreShort Name: HBcTSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) is an antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen. The core antigen is found on virus particles but disappears early in the course of infection. This antibody is produced during and after an acute HBV infection and is usually found in chronic
Read moreShort Name: HBc-MSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days Anti-HBc IgM antibodies, directed against viral core components, specifically mark acute hepatitis B. They may be the only indication of recent infection when the HBs antigen has already disappeared. See Hepatitis Bs Antigen (HBsAg), Serum; and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA Quantitative, PCR
Read moreShort Name: HAV-GSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days An epidemic viral infection transmitted by the fecal-oral route. Common in areas of poor hygiene. Caused by a picornavirus which is difficult to culture so diagnosis depends on serological analysis, notably the demonstration of specific IgM antibodies during the acute phase. These IgM antibodies disappear within 12
Read moreShort Name: HAV-MSample required: SerumResult Time: 1 Days HAV-specific IgM antibodies can be detected by the onset of clinical symptoms and are often elevated in acute infection. See Hepatitis A Virus Antibodies, Total, Serum
Read moreShort Name: HPY-SSample required: StoolResult Time: 1 Days The antigen test is a rapid, noninvasive method which provides direct detection of an active infection. It is simple and non-invasive and can be used regardless of prior testing or treatment. Sensitivity and specificity exceed 95% when compared to invasive testing methods. Since antigen testing indicates active

A negative serological result reliably rules out the possibility of there being any infection. A high level of

HDL-C consists primarily of protein with a small amount of cholesterol. It is considered to be beneficial because it removes excess cholesterol from tissues and carries it to the

If a hemoglobin test reveals that your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, it means you
