This test is primarily used to screen and diagnose acute and chronic infection or acquired immunity from HBV vaccination. The first response of the body after exposure to Hepatitis B infection is the production of IgM antibodies and then the body then produces IgG antibodies for life. Performed to identify prior exposure to Hepatitis B or whether the vaccination is successful or not. It may also be done to monitor the treatment and the progress of the patient’s recovery.
