What is a Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) Test in Delhi ?
What is Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM)?
Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) measures IgM antibodies the body makes against the core protein of hepatitis B virus. These antibodies usually appear shortly after infection. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests worldwide and plays a key role in both preventive screening and the investigation of liver disease.
What does Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) measure?
Their presence points to a recent or acute hepatitis B infection. This helps doctors decide on treatment and infection control steps. The test is useful for people with symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, or abdominal pain. It is also used after possible exposure, for contact tracing, and when evaluating liver inflammation.
What symptoms suggest Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) when a patient reports fatigue or persistent low energy, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark amber or tea-coloured urine, pale or clay-coloured stools, upper right abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling, and unexplained weight loss. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Malviya Nagar, Pitampura, and other parts of Delhi.
How is Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) performed?
You can have the sample for Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) taken at home in Malviya Nagar or Pitampura, Delhi, or at a partner lab. The phlebotomist draws a small amount of blood, applies a cotton swab with light pressure, and dispatches the sample to the NABL-accredited lab the same day.
How accurate is Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM)?
Every GetVisit sample from Malviya Nagar, Pitampura, and across Delhi is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.
Are there any risks to Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM)?
Risks are minimal. Some people notice a small bruise or brief soreness at the needle site, which settles within a day or two. Serious problems such as infection are very rare when sterile, single-use equipment is used, as it is at every GetVisit collection in Malviya Nagar and Pitampura, Delhi.
Did you know?
Doctors interpret this result together with other hepatitis B tests, such as surface antigen and total core antibody, to tell recent infection from past or chronic infection.

Why Take a Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) Test in Delhi ?
When does a doctor order Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM)?
Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) is often included in an acute hepatitis panel and in testing after possible exposure. Doctors order it for people with symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, nausea, or unexplained liver enzyme changes.
Who should get Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) done in Delhi?
Delhi's Yamuna river is among India's most polluted urban waterways, contributing to seasonal hepatitis A and E outbreaks during monsoon flooding, particularly in areas with older water infrastructure including Shahdara, Dilshad Garden, Preet Vihar, and parts of Dwarka. Delhi also has among India's highest per-capita alcohol consumption rates, driving significant alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease burden across all socioeconomic groups. Regular liver testing benefits: regular alcohol drinkers, individuals with BMI above 28, anyone on long-term medication including statins or anti-TB drugs, people with a personal or family history of hepatitis B or C, those with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, and all adults above 40 in annual preventive panels. In Delhi, residents of Rajouri Garden, Malviya Nagar, and similar areas with sedentary lifestyles and calorie-dense diets face particularly elevated metabolic liver risk.
What conditions can Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) help diagnose?
It helps diagnose recent hepatitis B infection and guide early treatment and infection control. Abnormal results most commonly reflect recent viral infection from exposures such as unprotected sex or shared needles; immune status and timing after exposure affect results. Family or household contact with hepatitis B makes this test especially important.
What do Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) results mean?
Mildly elevated ALT or AST (2–3× normal): fatty liver, obesity, or medication effect , often reversible. Moderately elevated (3–10×): active viral hepatitis or drug toxicity , requires urgent investigation. Severely elevated (>10×): acute liver injury , a medical emergency. High bilirubin: liver processing failure, bile duct obstruction, or haemolysis. Low albumin: significant loss of liver synthetic function, seen in advanced cirrhosis or malnutrition.
How often should Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) be repeated?
Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.
What happens after Hepatitis Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) results are ready?
Your GetVisit digital report is delivered to your phone as soon as results are authorised. Share it directly with your doctor via the app, or book a consultation with a GetVisit-verified specialist on the same platform.
