DESCRIPTION:
There are several types of hepatitis – each caused by a different hepatitis virus. The Hepatitis A Antibody (Total) Test will determine a prior Hepatitis A infection or an acute Hepatitis A infection.
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be contracted through unprotected sex, using contaminated needles, or other causes.
Common Variations of Hepatitis:
• Hepatitis A can be caused by consuming contaminated water or food.
• Hepatitis B can be contracted through sharing contaminated needles, having unprotected sex, or being exposed to infected blood from another person.
• Hepatitis C can be spread by blood from contaminated needles during drug use or tattooing as well as by having unprotected sex.
WHY DO I NEED TO BE TESTED FOR HEPATITIS A?
If left untreated, hepatitis can lead to fatigue or more serious issues like liver failure. What’s most disturbing is how hepatitis can remain dormant in your body for years and cause no outward physical symptoms. It may be impossible to detect hepatitis with just a physical examination because you may not have any noticeable symptoms.
OTHER RELEVANT LAB TESTS:
Customers typically purchase the Hepatitis Panel instead of just Hepatitis A because it tests for 3 variations of the hepatitis virus, not just one. Tests that go along with Hepatitis A (total) test include the Liver Function Panel (Hepatic Function) and the Basic Check‐Up.
