About Hepatitis Testing in Simi Valley
Hepatitis testing is a category of blood tests, not a single assay.
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, most often caused by one of several viruses labeled A through E. Each virus has a different transmission route and clinical course, so laboratories use different markers to detect them. A hepatitis panel typically combines several of these markers into one blood draw.
The most commonly ordered markers include hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B surface antibody, hepatitis B core antibody, and hepatitis C antibody. Hepatitis A antibody testing is also available, usually to confirm immunity or recent infection. Each marker answers a different question: whether the virus is present, whether the immune system has responded to it, or whether there has been past exposure.
Samples are collected by a standard venous blood draw, and results are generally reported within one to three business days. Preparation is minimal, and any specific instructions come from the laboratory performing the analysis. Results are interpreted by a clinician in the context of symptoms, history, and any additional testing.
