Is this test for you?

If suspect you might have ingested food or liquid that was contaminated by faeces you should be tested for Hepatitis A immediately. Most hepatitis cases are found in countries where there is poor sanitation. There is also an increased risk of hepatitis A for men who have sex with men and those who inject drugs. If you suspect that you might have been exposed to the virus, it is important to take a test.

14%
of people with hepatitis A have symptoms that may come and go for 6 months before eventually disappearing
According to the NHS, most people with hepatitis A get better within 2 months of infection and have no long-term effects. Normally, after the virus passes you will develop life-long immunity against it.
bg
53%
of hepatitis A cases in between 2006-2016 were from men
According to the Public Health England the proportion of reports among males has varied slightly each year; overall males have accounted for 53% of hepatitis A laboratory reports during this period (range 44-61%).

What indicates hepatitis in a blood test?

There are several blood tests that can be used to diagnose hepatitis. The most common are the hepatitis A virus antibody test, the hepatitis B surface antigen test, and the hepatitis C virus antibody test. A positive result on any of these tests indicates that you have been infected with the corresponding virus at some point in your life.

Can hepatitis A be life threatening?

In rare cases, hepatitis A can lead to liver failure and death. However, most people who contract the virus recover fully without any lasting liver damage.

Where do I send my sample?

You will receive a free return label for sending your health test samples back to our lab for analysis. We will also provide clear instructions via email with return information for your sample.

What do I need to do before my test? i.e. fast, no drinking, etc

If there are requirements for fasting or limited alcohol intake before a blood test, then we will send personalised instructions to you via email once an order has been placed. However, the majority of tests can be taken without fasting.

When will I get my results/how will I receive my results?

Results are usually processed within 2 – 3 working days. If a sample is sent over the weekend (which we do not recommend), you will receive your results within 2 – 3 days from Monday. Once your results and personalised report is ready to view, you will receive a notification via email to log in to the Welzo online platform.

Who should take a hepatitis A blood test?

Some people should get a hepatitis A blood test as part of routine medical care, such as:

People with certain risk factors for hepatitis A, such as those who have chronic liver disease or are receiving treatment for clotting disorders,

People who have been exposed to the virus, such as through contact with someone who has hepatitis A or through contaminated food or water,

People who are planning to travel to countries where hepatitis A is common,

Your doctor may also recommend a blood test if you have symptoms of hepatitis A, such as fatigue, abdominal pain, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice).

How is hepatitis A contracted?

Hepatitis A is usually spread when an infected person's stool (poop) contaminates food or water. This can happen when:

- An infected person does not wash their hands after going to the bathroom and then prepares food for others

- Contaminated food is eaten

- Water contaminated with the virus is consumed

Hepatitis A can also be spread through close contact with an infected person, such as:

- Sharing utensils or drinking glasses

- Having anal or vaginal sex with an infected person

- Living in the same household with an infected person

What if my results show that I’m outside the normal range?

If your results are outside the normal range and are of concern, it is a priority that you contact your local GP or emergency service by calling 111 or 999. Please note: If you feel sick, unwell or are concerned about your health, it is your responsibility to get in touch with the emergency services as soon as possible, do not wait for results to be issued. Disclaimer: If your test range is abnormal, we will not be held responsible for follow-up treatments or notifying a healthcare professional, by taking a test with us, you agree that you will take the necessary steps to follow up with a healthcare provider independently.

Where does my information go, and is the system secure?

Once you register with our platform, your details are automatically encrypted and pseudonymised. Your sample will be sent to our lab and registered using an encrypted HL7 file (Health Level Seven International) is a set of standards, formats and definitions for exchanging and developing electronic health records (EHRs). Your data and sample will be pseudonymised, meaning a set of unidentifiable alphanumeric will be applied to your account, further increasing the security and anonymity of your information. You can also request to delete your data at any time by emailing: hello@welzo.com
