This test screens for the presence of antibodies to Hepatitis A in your blood.
The hepatitis antibodies test is a blood test, which can detect previous exposure to the HBV virus. This test is typically used to determine the need for a hepatitis vaccination or to see whether someone has recovered from a hepatitis infection and is now immune to HBV. It can also detect the presence of an active infection.
Even if you do not have any symptoms, if you have been exposed to the Hepatitis A virus recently it is advised that you get tested, so that early treatment can stop any potential infection from developing. A proper diagnosis can also rule out similar conditions.
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is usually transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food or water or through direct contact with an infected person. The disease is often mild with no lasting liver damage, but it can cause acute liver failure in rare cases. Symptoms include fatigue, stomach pain, nausea, and jaundice. The Hepatitis A test involves blood testing to detect the presence of antibodies or antigens related to HAV. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent hepatitis A, and the test is particularly recommended for individuals traveling to areas with high rates of HAV or those with occupational risks.
