Hepatitis ABCE Screening Comprehensive Panel (10 Tests) - Quantitative ELISA
Test Code
PH6
Also Known As
No data available
Test Parameters Included
* Hepatitis E Virus - IgM (HEV IgM) ELISA: Detects recent or acute Hepatitis E infection.
* Hepatitis A Virus - IgM (HAV- IgM) ELISA: Indicates acute or recent Hepatitis A infection.
* Hepatitis A Virus - Total (HAV Total) ELISA: Detects both acute and past Hepatitis A infection, as well as immunity from vaccination or prior exposure.
* Hepatitis B Core Antibody IgM (Anti HBc - IgM) ELISA: A key marker for acute Hepatitis B infection or a recent flare-up of chronic infection.
* Hepatitis B Core Antibody Total (HBcAb- Total) ELISA: Indicates past or current Hepatitis B infection (does not distinguish between acute and chronic). It appears shortly after HBsAg and persists for life.
* Hepatitis C Virus (HCV Antibody) ELISA: Screens for exposure to Hepatitis C virus. A positive result usually indicates chronic infection and requires confirmatory testing (e.g., HCV RNA PCR).
* Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Total (Anti HBs) ELISA: Indicates immunity to Hepatitis B, either from successful vaccination or recovery from a past infection.
* Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) ELISA: The primary marker for active Hepatitis B infection (acute or chronic). Its presence means the virus is currently in the body.
* Hepatitis B Envelope Antibody (AntiHBe) ELISA: Indicates seroconversion from HBeAg, often correlating with reduced viral replication and lower infectivity.
* Hepatitis B Envelope Antigen (HBeAg) ELISA: Indicates active viral replication and high infectivity of Hepatitis B.

Methodology
ELISA: All Parameters are Quantitative by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a highly sensitive and specific immunoassay widely used for the quantitative detection of antibodies and antigens in blood samples. In this comprehensive panel, ELISA is employed for each parameter to precisely measure the concentration of various hepatitis virus markers. The technique involves a series of steps where specific antibodies or antigens are immobilized on a solid surface. When the patient's sample is added, any target (virus antigen or antibody) present binds to the immobilized components. Subsequent steps involve adding enzyme-linked antibodies that react to produce a colored product, the intensity of which is quantitatively measured by a spectrophotometer. This quantitative measurement allows for precise determination of antibody or antigen levels, providing a detailed picture of the infection status, stage, and immune response.
