Anti HAV Price in Bangladesh

What is Anti HAV?

Anti-HAV IgM is a blood test used to detect IgM antibodies against the Hepatitis A virus (HAV). The presence of these antibodies indicates a recent or current infection with Hepatitis A.

This test is useful for diagnosing acute Hepatitis A infection and distinguishing it from past infections or immunity. It is often used during outbreaks or when a person presents with symptoms of hepatitis.

The test is performed with a blood sample, and the risks are minimal, involving slight discomfort during the blood draw. Positive results suggest recent infection and help guide treatment and prevention strategies.

What to expect & how to prepare

Anti HAV is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Anti HAV result rather than self-diagnosing.
