Anti Hepatitis D Virus (Hdv) Antibody - IgM in Crossings Republik, Ghaziabad

Anti Hepatitis D Virus Antibody IgM is a blood test that is used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies against the hepatitis D virus. This test is usually performed along with other hepatitis tests to diagnose an acute or chronic infection caused by the hepatitis D virus.

The hepatitis D virus (HDV) is a small RNA virus that can only infect individuals who are already infected with the hepatitis B virus. HDV infection can range from mild to severe and can lead to liver failure in some cases. Since HDV infection can only occur in people already infected with HBV, it is recommended that people who are at risk of HBV infection get vaccinated against it.

Symptoms of HDV infection include:

• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Joint pain
• Dark urine
• Jaundice

Individuals at risk for HBV infection should opt for the Anti Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) Antibody IgM Test. People who have had close contact with someone who has HDV or have received a blood transfusion or organ transplant before 1992 are also at risk.

To collect a sample for the test, a laboratory technician will draw blood from a vein in your arm. No special preparation is required before the test.

The procedure for the Anti Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) Antibody IgM test involves analyzing the blood sample for the presence of IgM antibodies against the HDV. The test is performed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

If a patient receives a positive diagnosis for HDV infection, they have several options:
