Title: Hepatitis A Test
Description:
The Hepatitis A Test detects antibodies (IgM or total) to determine recent or past infection with the Hepatitis A virus (HAV), a contagious liver infection usually spread through contaminated food or water. While many infections are mild, especially in children, adults may experience more severe symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain. This test is crucial for individuals with symptoms of liver disease, those exposed to an infected person, or travelers to regions with poor sanitation. Early detection helps prevent further spread and manage symptoms effectively.
Instructions:
Fasting is not required for this test. A blood sample will be drawn from a vein in your arm by a trained healthcare professional.
