Order Hepatitis A/B/C Immunity TestingHepatitis A, B, and C are distinct viruses that affect the liver, and each has its own pattern of transmission, testing, and clinical meaning. Hepatitis A and B immunity testing is used to confirm whether a person has been immunized against those two viruses or has a current infection, while hepatitis C testing helps determine whether an individual has ever been exposed to that virus.
About Hepatitis A/B/C Immunity Testing in Houma
Hepatitis A/B/C immunity testing combines serologic markers that answer different questions about each virus.
For hepatitis A, the test typically measures immunoglobulin G antibodies directed against the virus. A positive result generally indicates prior infection or completed vaccination, both of which are associated with protective immunity.
For hepatitis B, the panel usually includes surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody. Together these markers distinguish between active infection, resolved infection, and vaccine-induced immunity, since the surface antibody alone is the marker most often used to confirm protection from vaccination.
For hepatitis C, testing generally begins with an antibody screen that reflects exposure. Because antibody results alone cannot confirm whether the virus is still present, a reactive screen is typically followed by a nucleic acid test to detect current infection.
