Test Components:

This panel tests for:

1. Hepatitis A
2. Hepatitis B
3. Hepatitis C

Description:

The Hepatitis Panel from ANY LAB TEST NOW® tests for three common variations of hepatitis: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be contracted through unprotected sex, using contaminated needles, or other causes. There are several types of hepatitis – each caused by a different hepatitis virus.

• Hepatitis A can be caused by consuming contaminated water or food.
• Hepatitis B can be contracted through sharing contaminated needles, having unprotected sex, or being exposed to infected blood from another person.
• Hepatitis C can be spread by blood from contaminated needles during drug use or tattooing as well as by having unprotected sex.

Why Do I Need It?:

If left untreated, hepatitis can lead to fatigue or more serious issues like liver failure. What’s most disturbing is how hepatitis can remain dormant in your body for years and cause no outward physical symptoms.

It may be impossible to detect hepatitis with just a physical examination because you may not have any noticeable symptoms. That’s why it’s important to be tested. Get a Hepatitis Panel and peace-of-mind today.

Other Relevant Tests:

Hepatitis can have similar symptoms (if any) as other sexually transmitted diseases. Many customers choose the Comprehensive STD Panel – which tests for several STDs (HIV, Syphilis, Herpes I and II, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia) including Hepatitis B and C.

You might also want to consider the Basic Check-Up, Liver Function Panel, the Comprehensive Male Panel or the Comprehensive Female Panel.
