Know more about this test

The Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody test is a blood test that detects Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against  past Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. It helps determine if an individual has been exposed to HEV in the past and whether they have developed immunity to the virus. It is widely available at an affordable price in Nashik with Tata 1mg labs.

Your doctor may recommend the Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody test if you experience symptoms suggestive of hepatitis E infection including mild fever, reduced appetite (anorexia), nausea, vomiting lasting several days, abdominal pain, itching, skin rash, joint pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), dark urine, pale stools, and a slightly enlarged, tender liver (hepatomegaly). This test is especially useful for understanding whether you have had HEV in the past  or whether you are protected against future infection, particularly in cases where symptoms are not present but past exposure is suspected. Additionally, it is done if you have a history of exposure to HEV or are at higher risk due to liver disease or pregnancy.

No special preparation is required for the Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.

Understanding Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody

Hepatitis E is an inflammation of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis E virus (HEV). It is transmitted mainly through contaminated drinking water. HEV causes acute liver disease, which can lead to severe outcomes, especially in high-risk populations such as pregnant women, young children and individuals with weakened immune systems.

The Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody test is used to detect Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to a past HEV infection. These antibodies can remain in the bloodstream for years after the infection has resolved, indicating previous exposure and immunity. This test is especially useful for understanding whether you have had HEV in the past  or whether you are protected against future infection, particularly in cases where symptoms are not present but past exposure is suspected.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection often presents without symptoms, but when they do occur, they can vary from mild to severe. Common signs include a mild fever, reduced appetite (anorexia), nausea, vomiting lasting several days, abdominal pain, itching, skin rash, joint pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), dark urine, pale stools, and a slightly enlarged, tender liver (hepatomegaly). Your doctor may recommend the Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody test if you experience these symptoms, or if you have a history of exposure to HEV or are at higher risk due to liver disease or pregnancy.

No special preparation is required for this test. Inform the doctor about all the medications or supplements that you are taking as these factors can influence the test results. 

Lab test results may vary across laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation, therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results, and always consult a doctor for proper understanding of the test results and appropriate follow-up care, which may include additional testing to monitor liver function and ensure recovery.

What does Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody measure?

The Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody test measures the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to the Hepatitis E virus in the blood. These antibodies indicate a past infection and the development of immunity as IgG antibodies are produced as a longer-term response to a previous HEV infection. This test helps confirm previous exposure to HEV and assess immune status for those who may have been infected or are at risk of future exposure.
