About this test

This panel combines markers for hepatitis A, B, and C to clarify immune status and check for current or past infection. It can show whether someone is protected after hepatitis A or B immunization, whether there is evidence of hepatitis B infection, and whether hepatitis C exposure has occurred. Clinicians order it for school, employment, or travel requirements, before certain procedures, or when reviewing liver health.

What this test measures

Hepatitis A antibody (total/IgG) Indicates past infection or immunization against hepatitis A.
Hepatitis A IgM antibody Suggests a recent hepatitis A infection.
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) A protein that can indicate a current hepatitis B infection.
Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) Indicates immunity from immunization or recovery.
Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) Can indicate past or ongoing hepatitis B infection.
Hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) Screens for past or present hepatitis C exposure.

Who this test may be right for

People confirming immunity after hepatitis A or B vaccination.
Individuals with known hepatitis B or C exposure.
Those with abnormal liver tests or jaundice.
People with occupational or travel-related risk.
Anyone with risk factors such as shared needles or certain exposures.

Before your visit

No fasting is required for hepatitis antibody and antigen testing.
Take usual medications unless told otherwise.
Tell the provider about known exposures or previous vaccination.
Provide a blood sample at the testing location.
Bring vaccination records if immunity is being verified.

Understanding your results

The pattern of markers is key. A positive hepatitis A antibody usually means past infection or immunization, while a positive hepatitis A IgM can suggest recent infection. HBsAg positivity can be associated with current hepatitis B, and anti-HBs usually reflects protection. Anti-HBc helps distinguish infection from vaccination. A positive hepatitis C antibody requires follow-up. Discuss the full pattern with a healthcare provider.
