A member asked:

How long is it supposed to it take for hepatitis blood tests to come back with accurate results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the Lab: Antibody to hep b and even the dna tests for hep b can be done the day the sample is collected. However, the labs sometimes batch the tests and in that case the results would be avilable the day the lab runs the test.
