Anti HBc Price in Bangladesh

What is Anti HBc?

The Anti-HBc IgM test detects IgM antibodies against the hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). The presence of these antibodies indicates a recent or acute Hepatitis B infection.

This test is commonly used to diagnose acute hepatitis B and is helpful in distinguishing acute infection from chronic infection or past exposure. It is performed with a blood sample, and the risks are minimal, usually limited to slight discomfort during the blood draw.

Positive results suggest a recent infection, while negative results suggest no current acute infection. Further tests are often needed to assess the stage of infection.

What to expect & how to prepare

Anti HBc is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Anti HBc result rather than self-diagnosing.
