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.
