Reference Range
REFERENCE RANGE: Negative
INTERPRETIVE CRITERIA:
NEGATIVE: Antibody not detected
EQUIVOCAL: Submission of a second (collected 3-4 weeks after initial specimen) suggested if clinically warranted.
POSITIVE: Antibody detected
Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection occurs in association with HBV infection. A positive result for HDV total antibody may indicate either acute or chronic HDV infection. HDV antibodies appear transiently during acute infection, and typically disappear with resolution of the infection. In contrast, HDV antibodies usually persist in chronic infection. Mearsurement of HDV IgM may help distinguish acute from chronic infection.
