About Hepatitis Tests & Panels | HAV, HBV, HCV Lab Testing in Towson
Hepatitis testing relies on blood analysis to detect viral antigens, antibodies, or genetic material.
Hepatitis A testing typically measures IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM antibodies suggest a recent infection, while IgG antibodies generally indicate past infection or immunity following vaccination.
Hepatitis B testing combines several markers, including surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody. Together these markers help distinguish an active infection, a resolved infection, and immunity from vaccination.
Hepatitis C testing usually begins with an antibody screen. If the antibody result is reactive, a nucleic acid test may be used to confirm whether the virus is currently present and to measure viral genetic material.
