FAQ
-
What is an acute Hepatitis panel?
An acute Hepatitis panel is a frequently ordered blood test that distinguishes between different types of viral hepatitis: A, B, and C. Viral hepatitis causes fatigue and jaundice in most cases. Some people may also experience pain in their muscles, abdomen, or joints.
-
When to test for acute versus chronic Hepatitis?
The decision to test for acute or chronic hepatitis depends on the patient's clinical characteristics as well as the timing of their symptoms. Acute hepatitis is the sudden onset of signs and symptoms that last less than 6 months. Usually, it presents the following:
- Jaundice
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
Chronic Hepatitis lasts more than 6 months and usually is caused by hepatitis B or C viruses. Usually, no symptoms are present until severe consequences appear. Signs of alarm include:
- Elevated liver enzymes
- Liver damage over time
- Cirrhosis
-
What does non-reactive mean on an acute Hepatitis panel result?
The results of the acute Hepatitis panel will be non-reactive if there is no evidence of active Hepatitis A, B or C at the time of testing. It means that no antibodies were produced because Hepatitis is not present.
