Hepatitis B IgM antibody (HBs IgM)

Performing an IgM antibody test for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is necessary to detect and diagnose hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. IgM antibodies are found in your blood when you get this test. This can help you figure out whether you have had the hepatitis B virus in the past.
