Hepatitis Be Antibodies
Overview of Hepatitis Be Antibodies in Kottayam
What is the Hepatitis Be Antibodies (anti-HBe) test used for?
The anti-HBe test detects antibodies against Hepatitis B e antigen or HBeAg. It is used to examine whether or not the individual with Hepatitis B has a less infectious phase.
What does a positive or negative Hepatitis Be Antibodies test mean?
Positive anti-HBe: Signal of the immune system attacking the virus in infectivity may be low.
Negative anti-HBe: Equal active Hepatitis B replication and therefore higher infectivity.
The doctor combines this test with the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and also viral DNA test for a complete diagnosis.
Do I need to prepare for the anti-HBe test?
Under normal circumstances, no special preparation is required. However, fasting for a period ranging between 8 and 12 hours may be recommended if the test forms part of an extended liver panel.
Can the anti-HBe test confirm if Hepatitis B is cured?
The test of anti-HBe indicates only less infectivity, while the HBsAg test proves that the person has completely recovered from disease.
