What is HBeAb (Hepatitis B Envelope Antibody)?
The HBeAb test checks for antibodies produced by your body in response to the Hepatitis B e-antigen. Its presence often indicates a decrease in viral activity and infectivity, suggesting that the infection may be resolving or entering a less active phase.
Why is this test important?
This test is crucial for monitoring the course of chronic Hepatitis B infection and assessing treatment effectiveness. A positive HBeAb result, especially after a positive HBeAg, often signifies a favorable change in the infection's status, indicating lower viral replication and reduced risk of transmission.
