What is Hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) HDV-IgM Antibody?

This test looks for IgM antibodies to the Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) in your blood. The presence of HDV-IgM antibodies typically indicates a recent or active HDV infection, which always co-occurs with Hepatitis B.

Why is this test important?

Detecting HDV-IgM antibodies is crucial for diagnosing acute Hepatitis Delta infection or an acute flare-up of chronic HDV. This helps identify active viral replication and guide immediate treatment strategies.
