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.
