Hepatitis A, or Hep A, total antibodies is a test that checks for a special class of proteins produced by the immune system known as immunoglobulins. Also known as a HAV total antibody test, this particular lab test checks for hepatitis A IgG antibodies and hepatitis A IgM antibodies in the blood. To understand whether the presence of hepatitis A antibodies indicate an infection or immunity from prior vaccination, the IgG and IgM antibodies are often ordered together through the commonly ordered hepatitis A test panel.
