About Hepatitis A Antibody Test | IgM Blood Test in Georgetown
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV).
The virus spreads primarily through ingestion of contaminated food or water, or through close contact with an infected person. Symptoms can include fatigue, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, and jaundice, though some individuals, especially children, may have mild or no symptoms.
IgM antibodies are the first class of antibodies the body produces during a new infection. In hepatitis A, IgM antibodies generally become detectable before symptoms appear and remain present for several weeks to months. Their detection supports a diagnosis of acute hepatitis A rather than a past infection or vaccination.
This test is typically ordered when a person has symptoms consistent with hepatitis A or when there is reason to suspect recent exposure. Results are interpreted alongside the clinical picture and, in some cases, additional liver function tests. A negative IgM result does not rule out all forms of hepatitis, and other hepatitis viruses require separate testing.
