Anti-HEV IgM (Quantitative) Test – MedEx Neo Clinic, Kathmandu

What is the Anti-HEV IgM (Quantitative) Test?

The Anti-HEV IgM (Quantitative) test detects and measures IgM antibodies against the Hepatitis E virus (HEV) in your blood. These antibodies typically appear during the acute phase of a Hepatitis E infection, helping identify recent or ongoing infections.

MedEx Neo Clinic in Kathmandu offers reliable Anti-HEV IgM testing to aid in the early diagnosis of viral hepatitis, especially in patients with unexplained liver symptoms or suspected exposure to contaminated water or food.

Why is the Test Done?

• 🧪 Detect Recent HEV Infection: Measures IgM levels to confirm an active or recent Hepatitis E virus infection.
• 🩺 Diagnose Liver Inflammation: Useful for patients showing elevated liver enzymes or symptoms of viral hepatitis.
• 🌍 Public Health Relevance: HEV is more common in areas with poor sanitation. Early detection prevents outbreaks and complications.
• 👨‍⚕️ Monitor Immunocompromised Patients: Helps identify hidden HEV infections in vulnerable populations.

Who Should Get Tested?

You may need this test if you experience:

• Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
• Dark urine or pale stools
• Fatigue, nausea, or abdominal pain
• History of recent travel or exposure to unsanitary water
• Elevated liver enzymes on routine testing

Understanding the Results
