hepatitis testing

Hepatitis testing involves a simple blood test to check for the presence of hepatitis viruses (A, B, or C), which can cause liver inflammation. These tests detect signs of current infection or past exposure by looking for specific antibodies or viral material. Results help determine if someone needs treatment or monitoring, and testing is important even if you feel healthy, as hepatitis can be unnoticed for a long time. Early detection allows for better management and reduces the risk of serious liver damage or transmission to others.
