Order Hepatitis TestingHepatitis testing refers to a group of blood tests that detect viral hepatitis infections and, in some cases, assess liver function. The tests are used to identify hepatitis A, B, and C, each of which affects the liver but spreads and behaves differently. Because early hepatitis often produces no noticeable symptoms, testing is the only reliable way to know whether an infection is present.
About Hepatitis Testing in Hacienda Heights
Hepatitis testing covers several distinct blood assays, and the right one depends on what is being evaluated.
Hepatitis A testing typically looks for antibodies the immune system produces in response to the virus. IgM antibodies indicate a recent or current infection, while IgG antibodies suggest past infection or vaccination.
Hepatitis B testing uses a panel of markers, including surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody, to distinguish between acute infection, chronic infection, resolved infection, and immunity from vaccination.
Hepatitis C testing generally begins with an antibody screen. If antibodies are detected, a follow-up nucleic acid test measures viral RNA to confirm whether the virus is currently present.
