Order Hepatitis A/B/C Immunity TestingHepatitis A, B, and C are distinct viruses that can each affect the liver, but they differ in how they spread and how the body responds to them. Immunity testing uses blood samples to clarify a person's status: whether vaccination or past exposure has produced protective antibodies against hepatitis A or B, whether either virus is currently present, and whether hepatitis C has ever been encountered. Because the three viruses call for different interpretations, the panel is best understood as a set of related questions answered from a single specimen.
About Hepatitis A/B/C Immunity Testing in Lochearn
Hepatitis A/B/C immunity testing combines several antibody and antigen markers to describe both protection and possible infection.
For hepatitis A, the test typically measures immunoglobulin G antibodies directed against the virus. A positive result generally indicates prior infection or vaccination and is interpreted as evidence of immunity, while a negative result suggests susceptibility.
For hepatitis B, the panel examines a combination of surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody. Together these markers can distinguish an active infection from a resolved one, identify a carrier state, and confirm whether vaccination has produced a protective antibody response.
For hepatitis C, testing usually begins with an antibody screen that shows whether the virus has ever been encountered. Because antibody presence alone cannot tell whether the infection is current or cleared, a reactive screen is often followed by a direct viral test to confirm active infection.
