Overview of the Hepatitis A Profile Test
The Hepatitis A Profile is a two-component blood profile intended to provide information about recent Hepatitis A infection and Hepatitis A antibody immunity.
The working laboratory composition uses Hepatitis A IgM together with Hepatitis A Immunity (IgG/IgM).
Hepatitis A is a viral infection affecting the liver and is usually transmitted through the faecal-oral route, including contaminated food or water.
IgM antibodies are primarily relevant to recent infection.
The broader immunity antibody component provides information about Hepatitis A antibodies that may reflect previous infection or vaccination.
The two results must be interpreted together and alongside vaccination history, symptoms and exposure timing.
The Hepatitis A Profile costs £133.99.
What Does the Hepatitis A Profile Test Check?
This profile contains 2 Hepatitis A antibody components.
Hepatitis A IgM
Detects IgM antibodies associated particularly with recent or acute Hepatitis A infection.
Hepatitis A Immunity (IgG/IgM)
Assesses Hepatitis A antibodies relevant to immune status following previous exposure or vaccination.
Who May Benefit From the Hepatitis A Profile Test?
The profile may be useful when both recent infection and broader Hepatitis A immune status need assessment.
People with possible recent Hepatitis A exposure - IgM testing can provide information about recent infection.
People with symptoms of acute hepatitis following relevant exposure - Hepatitis A may form part of the differential diagnosis.
People wanting to assess Hepatitis A immunity - Antibody testing can provide information about immune status.
People with previous Hepatitis A vaccination - Immunity testing may be requested in selected circumstances.
People with abnormal liver tests and relevant travel or exposure history - Hepatitis A may be one of several causes requiring investigation.
How to Prepare
Antibody interpretation depends on the timing of exposure, symptoms and vaccination history.
Very early infection may occasionally require repeat testing depending on the clinical situation.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Hepatitis A Profile Test
Hepatitis A can cause an acute illness, although some infected people may have mild symptoms.
Nausea or reduced appetite after relevant exposure - Can occur during viral hepatitis.
Fatigue and feeling generally unwell - Common but non-specific symptoms.
Dark urine or pale stools - May occur with liver or biliary disease and warrants assessment.
Yellowing of the skin or eyes - Jaundice requires appropriate medical evaluation.
Recent travel to an area with increased Hepatitis A exposure risk - Travel history can help guide testing.
Known contact with Hepatitis A - Testing may be appropriate according to exposure timing.
Jaundice, significant dehydration, confusion, severe abdominal symptoms or worsening illness requires prompt medical assessment.
Testing should not delay clinical care where acute hepatitis is suspected.

Understanding Your Results
A positive Hepatitis A IgM result can be compatible with recent infection but requires interpretation in clinical context.
An immunity-associated antibody result can reflect previous Hepatitis A exposure or vaccination.
The combination of results should be considered alongside symptoms, vaccination history and timing.
Where acute hepatitis is suspected, liver-function testing and medical review may also be appropriate.
