About Anti HBe (ELISA)
Anti HBe helps track how a hepatitis B infection is progressing, particularly whether the virus is becoming less active. It is usually ordered as part of a broader hepatitis B monitoring panel rather than alone.
No fasting is required, and results are available the next day, helping your doctor track changes in your hepatitis B status over time.
How to Prepare
- No fasting required.
- Bring any previous hepatitis B reports if you have them, they help with comparison.
