This panel typically includes Hepatitis A IgM antibody, Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis B core IgM antibody, and Hepatitis C antibody. Together, these markers help distinguish acute infection from past exposure or chronic disease and identify which virus is responsible.
It is ordered when patients present with symptoms of acute hepatitis — such as jaundice, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, or sudden elevation of liver enzymes — and is also used after potential exposure to hepatitis viruses. Identifying the specific virus guides treatment decisions, public health reporting, and counseling for household and sexual contacts. Sample type is serum.
