The HAV-IgM (Hepatitis A IgM) test is a blood test that detects IgM antibodies produced by the immune system shortly after exposure to the Hepatitis A virus. The presence of these antibodies typically indicates a recent or active infection. It is commonly recommended when symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, nausea, or loss of appetite suggest Hepatitis A.
At MAX@Home, the HAV-IgM test is provided with the convenience of home sample collection, allowing patients to get tested without visiting a diagnostic centre. A trained healthcare professional collects a small blood sample safely and hygienically from the patient’s home, which is then analysed in a certified laboratory.

The HAV-IgM (Hepatitis A IgM) test is often performed alongside other diagnostic tests to help confirm whether liver-related symptoms are specifically due to a recent Hepatitis A infection or another underlying condition affecting liver function. Since symptoms of hepatitis can overlap across different viral infections and liver disorders, doctors may recommend additional tests to ensure an accurate diagnosis and a complete evaluation of liver health.
