A hepatitis panel is a group of blood tests that checks whether you have a viral hepatitis infection now or had one in the past. We have included a liver function test as this organ usually gets damaged by hepatitis. Also, we check certain proteins because if the liver has been damaged it will show as abnormal levels on the test.
Hepatitis A is commonly spread by eating or drinking food or water that has been contaminated with even the tiniest traces of stool (poop) from an infected person. This may happen if an infected person doesn't wash their hands after using the bathroom.
Most people recover from hepatitis A on their own without any lasting liver damage.
Hepatitis B is spread by contact with body fluids from an infected person, such as blood, semen, and saliva (spit). The contact usually happens from having sex with an person who has the infection or by sharing needles or other items used for injecting drugs.
Most people recover from a hepatitis B infection on their own with no lasting liver damage. But some people may have a chronic (long-term) infection, which can lead to chronic liver disease and liver cancer. Anti-viral medicine may help chronic cases.
Hepatitis C is spread by contact with blood from an infected person. This usually happens through sharing needles or other items used for injecting drugs.
Most people who get hepatitis C will have a chronic infection. In most cases, medicine can cure hepatitis C. Without treatment, chronic hepatitis C may lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer.
A hepatitis panel is used to find out if you have an active hepatitis A or B infection now or if you had one in the past. It is also used to find out if you've ever been infected with hepatitis C. But the test can't tell the difference between a past hepatitis C infection and an infection you have now.
If a hepatitis panel shows that you may have hepatitis, you'll usually need more tests to learn about your condition.
You may need a hepatitis panel if you were exposed to someone who has viral hepatitis or if you have symptoms of hepatitis. Hepatitis doesn' always cause symptoms, but when it does, they may include:
