What is Hepatitis E Virus Antibody IgG?

This test detects IgG antibodies to the Hepatitis E Virus (HEV). IgG antibodies indicate a past infection or immunity to HEV, suggesting your body has encountered the virus and developed a long-term immune response.

Why is this test important?

Detecting HEV IgG antibodies helps determine if you've been exposed to the virus in the past. It's useful in epidemiological studies and for assessing immunity, especially in regions where HEV is common or for individuals with unexplained liver enzyme elevations.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
