About the Test
This test detects IgM antibodies against the hepatitis E virus (HEV), a liver infection usually spread through contaminated water or undercooked food. IgM antibodies typically indicate a recent or current infection. Hepatitis E is often self-limiting but can be more serious in pregnancy, so the test is commonly used when someone has jaundice, nausea or other hepatitis symptoms, particularly after travel or possible exposure.
What is it? A blood test detecting IgM-class antibodies to the hepatitis E virus, also known as anti-HEV IgM or the hepatitis E antibody test.
