Hepatitis Be Antibody Test

The Hepatitis Be Antibody (anti-HBe) Test is a qualitative blood test that detects antibodies to the hepatitis B e antigen and reports results as Reactive or Non-Reactive. A reactive result often indicates lower infectivity and a transition toward recovery or inactive disease, while a non-reactive result suggests no antibodies were detected. Doctors use this test to monitor hepatitis B infection stage, evaluate treatment response, and support long-term disease management.

The Hepatitis Be Antibody Test test contains 1 test with 1 biomarker .

Hepatitis Be Antibody - Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) - Detects antibody produced in response to HBV surface antigen. Used to detect previous exposure to HBV; it can also develop from successful vaccination so it is used to determine the need for vaccination (if anti-HBs is absent) or to determine if a person has recovered from an infection and is immune (cannot get the infection again).

Clinical Significance

HBeAb appears in the early convalescence of HBV infection. With carrier state and chronic hepatitis, HBeAb may not develop.
