About Hepatitis A, B & C Test Panel in Waltham
Hepatitis A, B, and C are separate viruses that share a target: the liver. Each has a different transmission route, a different clinical course, and a different set of markers that blood testing can reveal.
Hepatitis A spreads primarily through contaminated food or water and through close contact with an infected person. It causes an acute illness that typically resolves on its own, and the body's antibody response can be measured to confirm past or current infection.
Hepatitis B spreads through contact with infected blood, semen, or other body fluids. It can be acute or become chronic, and testing looks for a combination of surface antigens and antibodies to distinguish an active infection from immunity acquired through prior exposure or vaccination.
Hepatitis C spreads mainly through blood-to-blood contact and often produces no noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Antibody testing is the standard first step, with additional testing used to confirm whether the virus is currently present.
