LOINC description : Quantitative detection of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core-related antigens, including
HB core, pre-core (also known as p22cr) and envelop antigens, in serum or plasma by
immunoassay methods, such as chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA). This test
does not distinguish between the three antigens. Testing is performed for the diagnosis
of chronic and acute hepatitis B and to monitor treatment. Studies have shown that
HBVcr Ag levels in serum correlate with serum HBV DNA and intrahepatic covalently
closed circular DNA (cccDNA).[PMID: 31075974];
