Order Hepatitis A, B & C Test PanelViral hepatitis refers to a group of distinct infections that target the liver, each caused by a different virus and each carrying its own clinical profile. The Hepatitis A, B & C Screen is a blood test panel that evaluates a single sample for markers associated with all three of these viruses. Because the viruses differ in how they spread, how long they persist, and how they affect the body over time, testing for them together can offer a broad first look at liver-related viral exposure.
About Hepatitis A, B & C Test Panel in Downey
What the Hepatitis A, B & C Screen measures
The panel relies on serologic markers rather than direct viral detection alone. For Hepatitis A, the test typically looks for antibodies that indicate past or recent infection. For Hepatitis B, it screens for a combination of surface antigens and antibodies, which together can distinguish between current infection, past resolved infection, and immunity. For Hepatitis C, the test generally detects antibodies produced in response to the virus.
Each virus has a different transmission route. Hepatitis A is primarily spread through contaminated food or water and through close contact with an infected person. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are transmitted mainly through contact with infected blood, and Hepatitis B can also pass through sexual contact and from a pregnant person to a newborn. These differences shape who may be at risk and why a clinician might order all three tests at once.
A single blood draw is used for the panel. Results are interpreted by a healthcare provider, who considers the pattern of markers rather than any one result in isolation. Follow-up testing may be recommended depending on what the initial screen shows, since screening and diagnostic confirmation are separate steps in the testing process.
