What Is a Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) IgG Antibody Test in Kolkata?
The Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) IgG Antibody Test is a blood test that detects antibodies that develop after exposure to or vaccination against the Hepatitis A Virus. These antibodies (IgG) appear later in infection and provide long-term protection, meaning once you test positive, you are usually immune to future HAV infections.
This test is helpful for checking immunity, confirming recovery from past infection, and guiding vaccination decisions.
What Does a Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) IgG Antibody Test Measure in Kolkata?
The HAV IgG Antibody Test measures the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in your blood. It helps your doctor understand your immune status by identifying whether you have protective immunity or are still vulnerable to infection.
- Immunity Confirmation: Determines if you’re protected due to past infection or vaccination.
- Infection Status: Helps distinguish past exposure from a current active infection (which is identified by the HAV IgM test).
- Post-Vaccination Evaluation: Confirms successful immune response after receiving the Hepatitis A vaccine.
- Public Health Use: Supports travel screening and community surveillance in areas where Hepatitis A is common.
