Test Details:
The Hepatitis Delta Antibody (Anti-HDV) IgM test is a blood test used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies against the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) in the blood. HDV is a small RNA virus that can only infect individuals who are already infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
The IgM antibodies are the first antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a recent infection. Therefore, the presence of Anti-HDV IgM antibodies indicates a recent or acute infection with HDV.
This test is primarily used to diagnose acute HDV infection, as well as to distinguish between acute and chronic infections. It can also be used to monitor the progress of the disease and the effectiveness of treatment.
It is important to note that the Anti-HDV IgM test should be used in conjunction with other tests, such as the Anti-HDV total antibody test and HBV tests, to obtain a complete diagnosis and understanding of the patient’s hepatitis status.
