About Hepatitis A, B & C Test Panel in Clinton
Hepatitis A, B, and C are separate viruses that share a target: the liver. Each has a different transmission route and clinical course, so screening for all three provides a broader picture than testing for any one alone.
Hepatitis A spreads mainly through contaminated food or water and typically causes an acute illness that resolves without becoming chronic. The body produces antibodies against the virus, and their presence indicates exposure or prior infection.
Hepatitis B spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids and can be either acute or chronic. Testing combines surface antigens, which suggest current infection, with antibodies that can indicate immunity or past exposure.
Hepatitis C spreads primarily through blood exposure and often produces no noticeable symptoms in its early stages, yet it can persist as a chronic infection. Antibody screening is the first step, and a reactive result is usually followed by a confirmatory test to detect the virus directly.
