A blood test for hepatitis A (HAV IgG) antibodies — confirming whether a patient has protective immunity to hepatitis A through prior infection or vaccination. Available at 395 Kč without a prescription, collected at any Prague Unilabs collection point. Hepatitis A is a liver-transmitted viral illness spread primarily through contaminated food and water; it is endemic in many travel destinations across Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and parts of Eastern Europe. The test is relevant for travellers preparing for high-risk destinations who want to confirm whether their previous vaccination or natural exposure has produced lasting immunity, and for healthcare and food service workers subject to occupational immunity checks.

This is distinct from anti-HAV IgM, which indicates a current or very recent infection; the IgG test is the marker of established immunity, whether from previous illness or completed vaccination.
Hepatitis A is a notifiable disease in the Czech Republic and across Europe, spread by the faecal-oral route — primarily through contaminated water, uncooked shellfish, fresh produce, and close contact with infected individuals. The Czech vaccination schedule recommends HAV vaccination for travellers to endemic regions, food handlers, healthcare workers, and patients with chronic liver disease. However, vaccine records are frequently incomplete, and a…

Biomarkers tested
9Complement protein; measured to assess complement system function.
Complement protein; measured to assess complement system function.
A group of proteins in blood including antibodies (immunoglobulins), transport proteins, and enzymes. Elevated globulin can indicate chronic infection, inflammation, or blood cancers. Calculated by subtracting albumin from total protein.
Indicates immunity against HBV due to vaccination or previous infection.
Detects antibodies to hepatitis C virus, indicating current or past infection. A positive result requires confirmatory RNA testing. Hepatitis C is now curable with direct-acting antiviral medications in most patients.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
Measures the total number of white blood cells, your body's primary defense against infection. Elevated levels may indicate infection, inflammation, or immune disorders, while low levels can signal bone marrow problems or autoimmune conditions.
