About Hepatitis A Antibody Test | IgM Blood Test in American Fork
Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus, and it spreads easily through close contact or contaminated food and water.
The virus is highly contagious. It spreads when a person ingests material contaminated with the virus, often through food or water, or through close personal contact with an infected individual.
During an acute infection, the immune system first produces IgM antibodies. These antibodies are generally detectable early in the illness and decline over the following months, which makes the IgM test best suited to identifying a recent or ongoing infection.
A different antibody, IgG, appears later and remains detectable for life. It signals past infection or vaccination rather than acute illness. Testing for IgM specifically helps distinguish a current infection from prior exposure.
