HEPATITIS E VIRUS IGG ANTIBODY

The Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody test detects anti-HEV IgG in a blood sample, showing prior exposure to hepatitis E virus or the development of protective antibodies. The analysis is performed using validated immunoassays at accredited Dubai laboratories to provide reliable and timely results for convenient home-based screening. This test is important for determining past infection or immune status and complements acute infection testing (IgM or HEV RNA) when clinical symptoms are present.

HEV IgG testing is useful for epidemiological surveillance, blood-donor screening, and assessing immunity in people at higher risk (for example, pregnant women, immunocompromised patients, and transplant candidates). It is also appropriate for individuals with a remote history of jaundice or travel to HEV-endemic areas who want to confirm past exposure; clinical correlation and physician consultation are recommended to interpret results and guide next steps within UAE healthcare protocols.

• Hepatitis E Virus IgG Antibody (Anti-HEV IgG)
• Antibody titre / concentration (when quantitative assay available)
• Result interpretation (Reactive / Non‑reactive)
• Sample type: Serum / Plasma

• After recovery from suspected hepatitis to confirm past HEV infection
• Screening blood donors or for public health seroprevalence studies
• Assessment of immunity in pregnant women or pre-conception counseling
• Evaluation of exposure risk in immunocompromised or transplant candidates
• Prior to or after travel to HEV-endemic regions

• Identifies prior HEV exposure and potential immunity status
• Convenient at‑home sample collection with accredited Dubai lab testing
• Fast, accurate results using standardised immunoassays
• Supports blood safety, clinical follow-up, and public health decisions
• Electronic report delivery compatible with UAE clinician review

• At-home blood sample collection (venous draw or finger-prick by trained phlebotomist)
• No fasting required; continue regular medications unless advised otherwise
• Provide recent medical history (recent transfusions or immunoglobulin therapy) and valid UAE ID at collection
• Sample: serum or plasma to be sent to an accredited Dubai laboratory
