Hepatitis A is commonly transferred through contact with human stool, typically resulting from improper hand washing. This is the least severe form, usually involving flu-like symptoms, then going away on its own. Most people who have been infected develop antibodies which provide protection from catching Hep A again. These antibodies can also be present as a result of vaccination.
Hepatitis B and C are most commonly acquired through exposure to blood and bodily fluids of an infected person, and each can involve a wide variance of symptoms that are generally flu-like. Hepatitis B and C testing are strongly encouraged if you believe you're at risk to mitigate possible long-term complications.
This package is typically ordered as a routine screening or when someone believes they may have been exposed to one or more forms of Hepatitis. It may also be ordered when a person has symptoms of liver disease to help determine if Hepatitis infection may be the cause.
Turnaround time is typically 1 business day.
