How will I know if I have hepatitis A?

Some people with hepatitis A do not have any symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they may include the following:

• Yellowing of the skin or eyes (called jaundice)
• Feeling very tired
• Stomach pain
• Not feeling very hungry
• Dark urine
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Low-grade fever

Your doctor can tell you if you have hepatitis A by talking to you about your symptoms and taking a sample of your blood. A blood test for a specific antibody called an IgM antibody can tell if you are infected with hepatitis A.
