The Hepatitis A, B & C Test Panel is a blood test that checks for past or current infection with three viruses that affect the liver. It is often ordered when someone has symptoms like fatigue or jaundice, or when there is a concern about exposure through sex, drug use, or travel.

What it measures

  • Hepatitis A antibody (IgM and total) — Shows if you have a current or past hepatitis A infection or were vaccinated.
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) — A protein on the virus; if present, it means you can spread the virus to others.
  • Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) — Shows immunity from vaccination or a past infection.
  • Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) — Indicates a past or current hepatitis B infection.
  • Hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) — Screens for exposure to hepatitis C; a positive result needs a follow-up test.

Who it is for

A clinician may order this panel if you have symptoms of liver inflammation, abnormal liver blood tests, or risk factors such as sharing needles, having multiple sex partners, or being born to a mother with hepatitis B.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about any medications or supplements you take.

Results and what they mean
