Discover your hepatitis A antibody status with confidence

The Hepatitis A Total Antibody (IgG and IgM) Test is a valuable tool for assessing your body's protection against the hepatitis A virus. This blood test detects antibodies against hepatitis A in your blood, providing insight into your immunity status. Understanding your hepatitis A antibody status can help inform decisions about vaccination or previous infection. This total hepatitis A antibody test detects both IgM and IgG antibodies, but it cannot differentiate between current and past infections or immunity from vaccination.

Note: This test is not intended to be used to diagnose a current active hepatitis A infection. Those with any symptoms of hepatitis A infection should contact a healthcare provider for next steps.

What's Tested

Hepatitis A Virus Antibody

This test detects your total hepatitis A antibodies in your blood, including IgM and IgG. The presence of these antibodies indicates that you have either been vaccinated or exposed to the virus. Detection of hepatitis A antibodies is considered evidence of immunity to infection. Understanding if hepatitis A antibodies are present helps assess your protection against hepatitis A infection.

Unsure if you’re immune?

If you've received the hepatitis A vaccine, documentation of a completed hepatitis A vaccination series is sufficient to determine immunity. If you do not have this documentation, this test can detect if you have antibodies against hepatitis A.

This information is particularly valuable for those planning international travel to countries where hepatitis A is common or for those working in high-risk environments (e.g, substance abuse treatment or support centers, group homes or non-residential care facilities) .

Check for past exposure

Even if you've never been diagnosed with hepatitis A, you may have been exposed without realizing it. This test can reveal if you've had a previous infection, which typically results in immunity.

FAQ

Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus. Infected individuals may have no symptoms at all, but some may experience mild to severe illness that lasts between a few weeks to several months. Unlike other forms of viral hepatitis, hepatitis A does not cause chronic liver disease and is rarely fatal, but it can cause debilitating symptoms.

There is a safe and effective vaccine available for hepatitis A. The vaccine provides long-lasting protection against the virus.
