Order Hepatitis A/B/C Immunity TestingHepatitis A, B, and C are distinct viruses that affect the liver, and each has its own patterns of transmission, testing, and immunity. Immunity testing uses blood samples to assess whether a person carries protective antibodies from vaccination or prior exposure, or markers that indicate a current or past infection.
About Hepatitis A/B/C Immunity Testing in Lochearn
Hepatitis A/B/C immunity testing combines several serological markers into a single panel, allowing a broad view of immune status and infection history across all three viruses.
For hepatitis A and B, the panel typically measures antibodies that reflect protection from vaccination or resolved natural infection, alongside antigens or antibody patterns that can signal an active infection. For hepatitis C, testing generally detects antibodies to the virus, and a reactive result is usually followed by a nucleic acid test to confirm whether the virus is currently present.
The distinction between immunity and infection matters because the two require different follow-up. A positive antibody result for hepatitis A or B may indicate vaccine-induced protection, while a positive hepatitis C antibody result alone cannot confirm an active infection. Clinicians interpret the full panel together rather than relying on a single marker.
Results are reported within a few business days and should be reviewed with a healthcare professional who can explain what each marker means in the context of vaccination history, exposure risk, and symptoms. No single laboratory result replaces a complete clinical evaluation.
