What are Hepatitis B antibodies?
Hepatitis B antibodies are specific proteins produced by the immune system in response to the hepatitis B virus. These antibodies provide insight into the body's immune response against this infection.
Why should you have Hepatitis B antibodies tested?
Testing for hepatitis B antibodies is useful for determining whether you have previously been infected with the hepatitis B virus or have been successfully vaccinated. This information is crucial for determining your immunity status against hepatitis B.
What does it indicate?
The presence of hepatitis B antibodies in the blood indicates a previous infection with the hepatitis B virus or a successful vaccination. It helps doctors understand whether you are immune to the virus.
What does a high level of Hepatitis B antibodies mean?
A high level of hepatitis B antibodies usually indicates successful immunity development, either through vaccination or previous infection. This means your body has sufficient defense against the virus.
What does a low level of Hepatitis B antibodies mean?
A low level of hepatitis B antibodies may indicate that you are not immune to the virus, which increases your risk of infection. This could also mean that a vaccination is needed or that a booster shot is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
