The Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test detects antibodies against the core antigen of Hepatitis B virus, indicating past or current infection.

The test is used to diagnose Hepatitis B infection, assess immune response, and guide further testing.

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent health issues.

Results are typically available within 1 to 2 days after the test.

A positive result indicates past or current exposure to Hepatitis B virus. It may require further testing to determine the infection stage and appropriate management.

Follow specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Use a sterile container and collect a fresh sample.

The test can identify most bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections causing gastrointestinal symptoms.

Blood in the stool may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which requires further evaluation to determine the cause.

Results are typically available within 2 to 3 days after sample submission.

Your healthcare provider may recommend specific dietary modifications or restrictions before sample collection.

The TB GOLD Test is an advanced diagnostic tool that uses an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to detect latent tuberculosis infection.

Unlike the tuberculin skin test (TST), the TB GOLD Test does not require a return visit for reading and provides more accurate results by measuring the immune response to TB-specific antigens.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent illnesses.

Results are typically available within 2 to 7 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.

The TB GOLD Test helps accurately diagnose latent TB infection, which is crucial for preventing the progression to active TB and ensuring appropriate treatment and management.
