The Hepatitis B (Core) IgM Antibody test is used to detect antibodies called IgM in your blood. The test is used to find out whether you are actively infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The HBV has an envelope surrounding the central core. During the active stage of infection, your immune system will make IgM antibodies to the core of HBV.
