If you suspect infection with the hepatitis A virus, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis. Doctors have several methods to detect liver infection, which include antigen and antibody tests. By the presence of antigen and antibodies, it is possible to determine whether the disease is acute or chronic hepatitis and the severity of the patient's condition.
