Hepatitis A Blood Test
Hepatitis A Blood Test
The Hepatitis A Blood Test is a diagnostic test that checks for Hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibodies in the bloodstream to determine whether you have a current infection, have had the infection in the past, or are immune to it. Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the HAV virus, commonly transmitted through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person. While usually short-lived, it can cause significant liver inflammation and symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice.
This test is commonly requested by healthcare professionals before travel to high-risk areas, after potential exposure, or as part of routine occupational health screening, particularly for food handlers, healthcare workers, or people working in childcare or sanitation. The test is in line with public health advice from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and global health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO).
What Does It Test For?
This test detects Hepatitis A antibodies (IgM and IgG), which indicate whether you have a current or past infection, or if you are immune, either from previous exposure or vaccination. The test helps determine whether further action is needed, such as vaccination, treatment, or additional monitoring. It can also help identify Hepatitis A as the cause of symptoms in individuals presenting with liver-related issues or unexplained illness, especially in cases of suspected viral hepatitis.
