ANTI HEV IgG *

What is Hepatitis E?

Hepatitis E is a liver inflammation caused by infection with the Hepatitis E virus. Infected people shed the virus in their feces, which enters the human body via the faeco-oral route. It is primarily transmitted by polluted drinking water. HEV causes acute liver damage, which can have serious consequences, particularly in high-risk groups like pregnant women, young children, and those with weaker immune systems. HEV infection is often asymptomatic, but symptoms can range from mild to severe, including a mild fever, reduced appetite (anorexia), nausea and vomiting that lasts a few days; abdominal pain, itching, skin rash, or joint pain; jaundice (yellow skin), dark urine, and pale stools; and a slightly enlarged, tender liver (hepatomegaly).
