Anti HAV – IgM (Qualitative) is a diagnostic blood test used to detect the presence of IgM class antibodies against the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV). These antibodies typically appear in the early phase of infection and serve as a key marker for acute or recent HAV infection. The test helps in confirming active hepatitis A, especially in patients presenting with symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, fever, and loss of appetite. A positive result indicates a current or recent HAV infection, while a negative result usually suggests no active infection. This test is qualitative, meaning it reports the presence or absence of antibodies rather than their concentration. It is commonly recommended for individuals with suspected hepatitis, abnormal liver function tests, or exposure to HAV.
