A member asked:
Is it required to get both a hep b surface antigen and hep b surface antibody test for a hep b titer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hep B Titer: A hep b titer generally refers to the hepatitis b surface antibody test. This test is used to check for immunity to hepatitis b for healthcare workers. Occasionally, a hep b titer will refer to the hepatitis b surface antigen test, a test which is used to check for the presence of the hepatitis b disease.
