Test Code

The Hepatitis A Virus – Total Antibodies (HAV-Total) test measures the combined presence of IgM and IgG antibodies produced in response to Hepatitis A virus infection.

A positive result indicates exposure to Hepatitis A virus at some point, which may represent a recent infection (IgM) or past infection / immunity due to vaccination (IgG). This test is commonly used for initial screening, epidemiological studies, and to determine overall immune status when the timing of infection is unclear. For clinical differentiation between acute and past infection, HAV-Total is usually interpreted along with HAV IgM and HAV IgG tests.
