Test Code

The Hepatitis E Virus – IgG Antibodies (HEV IgG) test measures IgG class antibodies produced by the immune system following exposure to the Hepatitis E virus.

IgG antibodies typically appear after the acute phase of HEV infection and can persist for years, indicating past infection or acquired immunity. This test is not used to diagnose acute Hepatitis E but is valuable for assessing previous exposure, population immunity, and differentiating recent infection when interpreted along with HEV IgM antibodies. HEV IgG testing is especially useful in endemic regions and in patients with unexplained liver disease history.
