About Hepatitis Immunity Detection & Vaccine Testing in Silver Spring
Hepatitis immunity testing clarifies the body's immune status against hepatitis A and hepatitis B.
Hepatitis A and hepatitis B are distinct viruses that affect the liver. Immunity to each can follow natural infection or vaccination. Antibody testing distinguishes between the two sources and confirms whether protection is present.
The test typically measures antibodies such as anti-HAV IgG for hepatitis A and anti-HBs for hepatitis B. A positive anti-HBs result generally indicates protective immunity, whether from vaccination or resolved infection. Other markers may be added to clarify a person's status.
Results are interpreted by a clinician in the context of vaccination history and individual risk factors. When immunity is absent, vaccination may be recommended. Repeat or additional testing may be advised depending on the clinical picture.
