Hepatitis A, B, & C Antibodies Confirmation Panel

The hepatitis A, B, and C antibodies confirmation panel is a blood test that is used to detect the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the body. This panel is used to determine whether a person has been previously infected with any of these viruses or has been vaccinated against them.

The hepatitis A antibody test detects antibodies to the hepatitis A virus, which may indicate a current or past infection with the virus. The hepatitis B surface antibody test detects antibodies to the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus, which may indicate immunity to the virus either from previous infection or vaccination. The hepatitis C antibody test detects antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, which may indicate a current or past infection with the virus.

Results of the hepatitis A, B, and C antibodies confirmation panel can help healthcare providers diagnose and manage hepatitis infections, as well as determine the need for vaccination against hepatitis viruses.
