Prenatal Hepatitis Panel
Ordering Recommendation
Use for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) prenatal screening. If initial result is positive for HCV, test reflexes to quantitative nucleic acid amplification to confirm HCV infection.
Methodology
Qualitative Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA)/Quantitative Transcription-Mediated Amplification (TMA)
Performed
Sun-Sat
Reported
1-4 days
Within 24 hours. If reflexed, add 1-3 days.
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
Serum separator tube (SST). Also acceptable: Pink (K2EDTA) and Lavender (EDTA).
Separate from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 3 mL serum or plasma to an ARUP standard transport tube. (Min: 2.0 mL)
Frozen
Specimen: Body fluids other than serum or plasma.
Condition: Heparinized plasma. Specimens containing particulate material or obvious microbial contamination. Heat-inactivated, severely hemolyzed or lipemic specimens.
After separation from cells: Ambient: 24 hours; Refrigerated: 5 days; Frozen: 2 months (avoid freeze/thaw cycles)

Note
Order this test only for prenatal specimens. If results for HBsAg screen are reactive (≥ 1.0), then HBsAg Confirmation, Prenatal will be added. Additional charges apply.
If the anti-HCV screening result is low positive or high positive, the Hepatitis C Virus by Quantitative NAAT will be added. Additional charges apply.
