What this test is

This panel looks for antibodies and viral markers related to hepatitis A, B, and C. It helps show whether you have been immunized, have an active infection, or have had a past infection. The test does not diagnose any condition on its own.

What it measures

  • Hepatitis A antibody (total or IgG) — Reflects past infection or vaccination against hepatitis A.
  • Hepatitis A IgM antibody — Suggests a recent or current hepatitis A infection.
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) — Indicates current hepatitis B infection.
  • Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) — Shows immunity from vaccination or past infection.
  • Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) — Can indicate past or ongoing hepatitis B infection.
  • Hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) — Suggests past or current hepatitis C infection.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test to assess your immune status before travel, work, or certain medical treatments. It can also help evaluate possible exposure or monitor a known hepatitis infection.

Preparation

No special preparation is typically required, but follow the collection lab's instructions. Check with the lab about any fasting or medication guidance.

How results are reported

Results are reported as positive, negative, or sometimes indeterminate for each marker. Reference ranges and interpretive criteria vary by laboratory, so your clinician will explain what your results mean.

Before you go

  • Whether any fasting or medication changes are needed before the blood draw.
  • Which specific hepatitis markers will be included in your panel.
  • How and when you will receive your results.
