Clinical Utility
The Hepatitis B Serology Panel assesses hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection status and immunity. This panel helps clinicians diagnose acute or chronic HBV infections, determine if a patient has recovered from past infection, evaluate vaccination status, and guide treatment decisions. It's crucial for screening high-risk individuals, monitoring pregnant women to prevent vertical transmission, and assessing potential blood or organ donors for HBV status.
