Hepatitis E virus –IgM Antibodies (HEV IgM)

Hepatitis E Virus – IgM Antibodies (HEV IgM) is a serological blood test that detects IgM antibodies produced during the early phase of Hepatitis E infection. The presence of HEV IgM indicates a recent or active infection and is commonly associated with symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and elevated liver enzymes. This test plays a critical role in diagnosing acute hepatitis, especially in regions where Hepatitis E is prevalent. It is particularly important in pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals, as Hepatitis E infection can lead to severe complications. Early detection supports timely clinical management and monitoring.
