About Hepatitis Tests & Panels | HAV, HBV, HCV Lab Testing in Lynn
Hepatitis tests and panels detect viral markers that indicate current or past infection with hepatitis A, B, or C.
Hepatitis A spreads mainly through contaminated food or water and usually causes a short-term illness. Testing for hepatitis A typically looks for IgM antibodies, which appear during acute infection, and IgG antibodies, which indicate past infection or vaccination.
Hepatitis B testing uses a combination of markers, including surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody. These markers help distinguish an active infection, a resolved infection, and immunity from vaccination.
Hepatitis C testing generally begins with an antibody screen, and a reactive result is often followed by a nucleic acid test to confirm whether the virus is currently present. Panels combine these markers so that multiple viruses can be assessed from a single blood draw.
