About test
What does ANTI HEPATITIS A VIRUS (ANTI HAV) - IGM measure?
This test detects IgM antibodies against hepatitis A virus (HAV). IgM antibodies usually appear early after a recent HAV infection and may help healthcare professionals evaluate possible acute or recent hepatitis A exposure. It may be ordered when liver inflammation or a recent viral illness is being investigated, or after potential exposure to HAV. Results should be interpreted along with clinical history and other laboratory findings.
