Order Hepatitis Tests & Panels | HAV, HBV, HCV Lab TestingHepatitis tests and panels examine the body's response to hepatitis A, B, and C viruses, three distinct infections that affect the liver through different transmission routes and clinical courses.

About Hepatitis Tests & Panels | HAV, HBV, HCV Lab Testing in Evanston
Hepatitis testing is used to detect past or present infection, confirm immunity, and guide clinical decisions.
Hepatitis A testing typically measures IgM antibodies during acute infection and IgG antibodies that indicate past infection or vaccination. Hepatitis B testing combines surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody markers to distinguish acute infection, chronic infection, resolved infection, and immunity. Hepatitis C testing begins with an antibody screen and, when reactive, is followed by nucleic acid testing to confirm active infection.
The collection method is a standard blood draw from a vein in the arm. No special preparation is usually required, though the laboratory's instructions should be followed. Results are generally reported within one to three business days.
Interpretation depends on the pattern of markers rather than any single result. A reactive antibody screen does not by itself prove active infection, and immunity from vaccination produces a different marker profile than immunity from prior infection. Results should be reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional in the context of the individual's history and risk factors.
