Understanding Hepatitis Screening
Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, most commonly caused by viral infections. Hepatitis A is an acute, self-limiting infection spread via the faecal-oral route. Hepatitis B and C are blood-borne viruses that can cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
A comprehensive hepatitis screen typically includes: hepatitis A antibodies (IgM for acute infection, total for immunity), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and hepatitis C antibodies (anti-HCV). Additional markers may be included depending on the specific panel.
