Service Providers for Anti HEV - IgM
The Anti-HEV IgM test detects IgM antibodies against the Hepatitis E virus (HEV). The presence of IgM antibodies indicates recent or acute infection with HEV. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing acute hepatitis E, especially in individuals presenting with symptoms of jaundice or liver inflammation. It is commonly used in areas where HEV outbreaks are prevalent. The test is performed with a blood sample, and the risks are minimal, typically involving slight discomfort during the blood draw. A positive result confirms a recent infection, while negative results suggest no acute infection.
