Anti-HAV IgG (Rapid) (SR0080)

Description

Anti-HAV IgG (Rapid) is a rapid serological screening test used to detect IgG antibodies against Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) in blood. This test helps identify past exposure to Hepatitis A infection or immunity due to Hepatitis A vaccination. It is commonly used for immunity status evaluation, pre-vaccination screening, post-vaccination antibody assessment, epidemiological screening, travel health checkups, and liver infection history assessment. Anti-HAV IgG antibodies usually indicate previous infection or protective immunity, and unlike Anti-HAV IgM, they are not typically used to diagnose acute recent infection. The rapid version of this test is generally performed by immunochromatographic lateral flow assay, offering fast qualitative results and is useful in clinics, camps, and laboratories requiring quick screening.

Pre-Test Instructions:

  • No fasting required
    Collect sample as serum or plasma (or whole blood if supported by the specific kit)
    Use plain tube / SST for serum or EDTA/heparin tube for plasma as per lab protocol
    Avoid hemolyzed, lipemic, contaminated, or clotted samples
    Rapid test is mainly used for screening and immunity/past exposure assessment
    Positive Anti-HAV IgG usually suggests past infection or immunity after vaccination, not acute recent infection
    If acute Hepatitis A infection is suspected, doctor should order Anti-HAV IgM (or total HAV antibodies with reflex IgM) because IgM is the marker for recent/acute infection. Labcorp notes HAV IgM is intended to aid diagnosis of acute or recent infection.
    Reactive/positive rapid results may be confirmed with ELISA / CLIA / standard serology if clinically required
    Always interpret with clinical history, vaccination status, liver function tests, and physician advice
