About Hepatitis A Antibody Test | IgM Blood Test in Clovis
Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus, and IgM antibody testing helps identify an active immune response to it.
When the body encounters the hepatitis A virus, it first produces IgM antibodies. These are large, short-lived immune proteins that tend to peak during the acute phase of infection and then decline, which is why IgM is used as a marker of recent or ongoing infection.
The test is typically ordered when someone has symptoms consistent with hepatitis A, such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice, or when there is reason to suspect recent exposure to the virus. It may also be used to help distinguish hepatitis A from other forms of viral hepatitis.
Results are reported as either reactive or non-reactive. A reactive IgM result supports the presence of an acute or recent hepatitis A infection, while a non-reactive result makes recent infection less likely. Because antibody patterns change over time, results are interpreted alongside symptoms, exposure history, and other liver tests such as bilirubin and liver enzymes.
