What it measures
- Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) — A protein from the hepatitis B virus; if present, it can mean a current infection.
- Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) — A marker that usually means you are protected, often from vaccination or past infection.
- Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) — Shows whether you have ever been exposed to hepatitis B.
- Hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) — Screens for past or current hepatitis C exposure; a positive result is usually followed by a viral RNA test.
- Hepatitis C RNA — Detects the virus itself and can show whether an infection is active.
- Hepatitis A antibody (IgM and total) — Helps show a current or past hepatitis A infection or prior vaccination.
Preparation
No fasting is usually required. Tell the lab or clinician about any medicines, supplements, or recent vaccinations, because these can sometimes affect results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as positive, negative, or with a measured level, depending on the marker. A single result rarely tells the whole story, so a clinician interprets it alongside your history, symptoms, and other tests. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified clinician.
