About Hepatitis Testing in Seattle
Hepatitis testing is used to identify infection with hepatitis viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, and C.
The panel may include tests for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B surface antibody, hepatitis B core antibody, and hepatitis C antibody. Each marker provides distinct information: antigens suggest current infection, while antibodies can indicate either past exposure, vaccination, or ongoing infection depending on the specific marker.
Sample collection involves a standard blood draw from a vein in the arm. The blood is then processed and analyzed in a laboratory. Some tests may be repeated or followed by additional molecular tests, such as hepatitis C RNA or hepatitis B DNA, to confirm active infection or measure viral load.
Results are typically available within one to three business days. Interpretation depends on the combination of markers and the clinical context, so results should be discussed with a healthcare provider who can explain what they mean for an individual's health.
