About this test
Hepatitis E spreads through contaminated water and usually resolves on its own — except in pregnancy, where it carries a substantially higher risk of liver failure. That makes it a priority test in a pregnant woman presenting with jaundice.
What it measures
- Anti-HEV IgM
- Anti-HEV IgG
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
