Order Hepatitis TestingHepatitis testing refers to a group of blood tests that detect infection with, or immunity to, hepatitis viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, and C. The tests look for viral antigens, antibodies produced by the immune system, or viral genetic material, depending on which virus and which stage of infection is being evaluated.
About Hepatitis Testing in Durham
Hepatitis testing is used to identify current or past infection, confirm immunity, and guide decisions about monitoring and treatment.
Hepatitis A testing typically measures IgM antibodies during acute infection and IgG antibodies that indicate past infection or vaccination. Hepatitis B testing often includes several markers, such as surface antigen, surface antibody, and core antibody, which together show whether a person is infected, immune, or susceptible. Hepatitis C testing usually begins with an antibody screen and, if reactive, is followed by a nucleic acid test to detect viral RNA.
Samples are collected by drawing blood from a vein, usually in the arm. The blood is collected into tubes, labeled, and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Some tests are run individually, while others are ordered together as a panel.
Results are generally available within one to three business days, although the exact time depends on the specific tests ordered and the laboratory's workflow. Interpretation should always be done by a healthcare professional, since results can reflect acute infection, chronic infection, resolved infection, or vaccination.
