Note

Order this panel when the patient has had clinical acute hepatitis of unknown origin for less than six months. If results for HBsAg are repeatedly reactive with an index value between 1.00 and 50.00, then HBsAg Confirmation will be added. If the anti-HCV antibody result is positive, then Hepatitis C Virus by Quantitative NAAT will be added. Additional charges apply.
