Part Description
LP16711-1 Hepatitis D virus
Infection with the hepatitis delta virus (hepatitis delta-agent, HDV) is always seen in association with hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection, where it may occur as a simultaneous acute infection or as an acute super-infection superimposed upon a case of chronic HBV hepatitis. This is an RNA virus that requires the presence of HBV for viral replication to occur. The serologic diagnosis of HDV depends upon the finding of HDV antigen and/or the presence of anti-HDV. Patients will almost invariably have detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or antibodies to hepatitis core antigen (anti-HBc) and hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg). In patients with acute co-infections, hepatitis D antigen (HDVAg) appears early after HBsAg does and disappears with convalescence. Acute HDV infections are associated with anti-HDV IgM antibody and chronic cases usually only demonstrate IgG antibody. Both antibodies may eventually disappear following convalescence. The simultaneous assessment of anti-HBc IgM will help to differentiate co-infections (present) from super-infections (absent). Information is from ARUP Laboratories.

- Change Reason
- The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
