Hepatitis A (HAV), IgM details
Description
This antibody indicates a recent or currently active hepatitis A infection. Hepatitis A is a viral liver infection typically spread through contaminated food or water, and unlike hepatitis B or C, it doesn't become a chronic, long-term infection — most people recover fully within weeks to a couple of months. IgM antibodies appear early in the illness and are the key marker used to confirm an active infection when someone has symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, nausea, or abdominal pain, and gradually decline as the infection resolves.
