What this test is

The Hepatitis A/B/C Immunity Testing is used to determine if an individual has immunity against hepatitis A and B viruses, or a current infection. It also helps identify past exposure to hepatitis C.

What it measures

• Anti-HAV IgG — reflects immunity to hepatitis A

• Anti-HBc IgM — suggests recent hepatitis B infection

The test involves a standard blood draw, where a sample of blood is collected from a vein in your arm. This sample is then analyzed in a laboratory.

Why it is often ordered

Preparation

Preparation may vary, so it is important to follow the specific instructions provided by the laboratory conducting the test.
