Frequently Asked Questions
Is fasting required for the HDV antibody test?
No, fasting is not required. The test can be performed on a non-fasting serum sample.
What sample is collected and how much volume is needed?
Serum (1 mL) collected in a plain or gel separator tube.
How long does it take to receive the report?
Results are typically available within 24–48 hours at our NABL-accredited laboratory.
What does a positive quantitative HDV antibody result indicate?
It indicates exposure to Hepatitis D virus. The quantitative value helps assess immune response and is interpreted alongside Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) status, as HDV requires HBV for replication.
Can medications or supplements affect the test results?
Most medications do not interfere with HDV antibody detection. Immunosuppressive therapies may alter antibody levels, so inform your doctor about all current medications.
Does stress or physical activity influence HDV antibody levels?
No, stress or exercise does not affect HDV antibody concentrations. The test measures a specific immune response to viral exposure.
