This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms of liver inflammation like fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), abdominal pain, or unexplained nausea. It helps identify whether you have an active hepatitis A, B, or C infection, which are viral infections that can damage your liver. Many people use this test after potential exposure to hepatitis, experiencing liver-related symptoms, or as part of routine screening if they work in healthcare or have risk factors.
No special preparation is typically required for this hepatitis screening panel. You don't need to fast before your blood draw, and you can take your regular medications as prescribed. However, if you're experiencing symptoms, it's helpful to note when they started and any potential exposure risks to share with your healthcare provider when reviewing results.
This comprehensive hepatitis panel screens for three types of viral hepatitis that affect the liver. It detects Hepatitis A through IgM antibodies (indicating recent infection), Hepatitis B through surface antigen and core antibodies (showing active or recent infection), and Hepatitis C through antibodies (indicating exposure or current infection). Together, these measurements help pinpoint which hepatitis virus, if any, is causing your symptoms or liver inflammation, with reflex confirmation testing for accurate diagnosis.
What this means
Your test came back negative, meaning no Hepatitis B surface antigen was detected in your blood. This is the expected and healthy result, indicating you do not have an active Hepatitis B infection.
Recommended actions
Consider Hepatitis B vaccination if not already vaccinated for long-term protection
Practice safe sex and avoid sharing needles or personal care items
If you have ongoing liver symptoms, discuss additional liver function tests with your doctor
Retest if you have potential exposure or work in high-risk environments
