    This document provides an interpretation guide for a hepatitis serological profile test. The test measures markers for hepatitis A, B, C, and other hepatitis viruses. Based on the combination of markers detected, the guide indicates possible diagnoses such as acute or chronic hepatitis A, B, or C infection, immunity to certain hepatitis viruses, or coinfection with multiple hepatitis viruses. The guide is intended to help clinicians understand a patient's hepatitis exposure history and infection status based on their test results.
