Abstract:
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the major pathogen responsible for acute viral hepatitis in China. Recently, there have been new advances in the methodologies and novel discoveries in the laboratory diagnosis of HEV, including various diagnostic markers such as HEV RNA, HEV antigen, anti-HEV IgM, and anti-HEV IgG. A multi-indicator diagnostic approach should be applied across different populations, including patients with acute or chronic hepatitis E, individuals with extra-hepatic clinical symptoms, asymptomatic carriers, and specific occupational groups undergoing health assessments. The clinical significance of test results for each marker varies among these different groups.
