About Hepatitis Tests & Panels | HAV, HBV, HCV Lab Testing in Kirkwood
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 typically causes an acute illness that resolves without chronic infection. Testing usually looks for IgM antibodies during recent infection and IgG antibodies that reflect prior exposure or vaccination.
Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and body fluids. A panel may include surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody to distinguish active infection, resolved infection, and immunity from vaccination.
Hepatitis C spreads primarily through blood exposure. Testing generally begins with an antibody screen, and a reactive result is confirmed with an RNA test to determine whether the virus is currently present.
