What does hepatitis b titer is low mean?
low antibodies in your body

What is HBSAG Elisa test normal range?
The normal range for HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) in an ELISA test is typically less than 0.05 IU/mL. Values above this range may indicate a presence of Hepatitis B infection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for interpretation of test results.
What characteristics does a normal hepatitis virus test have?
Reference ranges for the antigen/antibody tests are as follows: hepatitis A antibody, IgM: Negative, hepatitis B core antibody: Negative, hepatitis B e antibody: Negative, hepatitis B e-antigen: Negative.
What pathogens cause hepatitis b?
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
What does the medical abbreviation HBs Ag Non-reactive mean?
You do not have Hepatitis Surface B antigens present. This can mean you do not have Hep B or if you have had vaccinations and are getting tested within months of the shots, they have not produced sufficient immunity. (If the titer is done years after the immunization, the levels may be non-reactive, but the body still may produce an anamnestic response demonstrating that low titer levels years after immunization are not an effective indicator of immune status.)
What does a non reactive hep b surface antibody mean?
HBsAg non-reactive does NOT mean immune to hepatitis B. To understand this we have to discuss what exactly HBsAg is. The hepatitis B virus has several components. It is an encapsulated virus, meaning that its central DNA core is protected by an outer shell. This shell is sometimes called the "surface". On this surface are some antigens, which are simply proteins that induce an immune response in the body. We abbreviate these antigens as HBsAg, which is shorthand for "hepatitis B surface antigen". If a blood test reveals that there are no detectable hepatitis B surface antigens, this simply means that the individual has no evidence of being currently infected with hepatitis B. Otherwise, there would be some hepatitis B surface antigens (with hepatitis B DNA inside them) floating around in the bloodstream. To determine if a person is immune to hepatitis B, we must draw a different test. This test checks for the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis B surface antigens. Sometimes this is abbreviated as HBAb, or as Hepatitis B IgG. If the patient has antibodies to Hepatitis B surface antigens, and has no detectable HBsAg in their bloodstream, then it is likely that they are immune. But be careful! Simply having Hepatitis B surface antibodies does not indicate immunity! It may mean that the person is actually infected with Hep B. This is why both tests are necessary to document immunity.
Can you give hepatitis b vaccine to someone with hepatitis B?
There is no harm or benefit from giving hepatitis B vaccine to someone with hepatitis B.
What is other tests you take other than ppd for cna?
Typically the PPD, and titers for rubella, measles, and mumps. Sometimes titer for varicella, and sometimes hepatitis B. Sometimes a drug test.
Is hepatitis A a virus or bacteria?
Hepatitis is inflammation in the liver caused by the virus hepatitis B.
