&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #808080;&quot;&gt;The Acute Hepatitis Profile is used to differentiate recent cases of acute viral hepatitis. It includes tests for Hepatitis A IgM Antibody, HBs Antigen, HBc IgM Antibody, and HCV Antibody with reflex to HCV PCR. Additional confirmatory tests may be performed if HBs Antigen or HCV Antibody tests yield positive results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #808080;&quot;&gt;The method names vary, including Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) and Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CIA) for different components. Two serum aliquots are required for testing: 0.5 mL refrigerated and 2.5 mL frozen, with specific collection and handling instructions. Patient preparation includes avoiding biotin-containing supplements for 24 hours before collection. The specimen minimum volume is 2 mL, with stability information varying based on storage conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #808080;&quot;&gt;If the hepatitis B surface antigen shows a positive result, additional confirmation testing will be carried out at an additional charge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
