About Hepatitis A, B & C Test Panel in Carson
Hepatitis A, B, and C are separate viruses that share a target: the liver.
Hepatitis A spreads mainly through contaminated food or water and typically causes an acute illness that resolves without long-term liver damage. Hepatitis B spreads through blood and bodily fluids and can be acute or become chronic, with chronic infection raising the risk of liver cirrhosis and cancer. Hepatitis C also spreads through blood and often becomes chronic, but it frequently produces few or no symptoms until liver damage has advanced.
The panel works by measuring specific markers in the blood. For hepatitis A, it detects antibodies the immune system produces in response to the virus. For hepatitis B, it looks at a combination of surface antigens and antibodies to distinguish current infection from past exposure or vaccination. For hepatitis C, it screens for antibodies against the virus, which indicate exposure and prompt further testing to confirm whether the infection is active.
Because the three viruses differ in how they spread and how they affect the liver, testing them together gives a broader picture than any single test. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and risk factors, and a positive screening result is typically followed by additional testing to confirm the finding and guide next steps.
