Your health care provider will ask you questions about your illness. You will be asked about your symptoms and about any possible exposures to hepatitis.
If your health care provider determines that you may be at risk for contracting hepatitis, you will have blood drawn.
The blood will be tested to determine how well your liver is functioning.
A test will be done for antibody to hepatitis A. The test will show whether you have been exposed recently to HAV.
Your blood probably will be tested for the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses as well.
If you have had a large amount of vomiting or have not been able to take in liquids, your blood electrolytes may be out of balance. Your blood chemistry may be tested to check this.
