There are several tests for hepatitis B which mean different things if positive (reactive).
If it is the surface antigen (sAg') then it means that you have either been exposed to the infection or had the shots. If the former whether you still have the infection depends on the results of other tests.
What else can I help you with?
How do you cure hepatitis b reactive?
Since Hepatitis B reactive is an acute reaction, it can be treated. Hepatitis B reactive can be treated with antibiotics and other clinical trials that are being tested.
what do you mean by hepatitis B and hepatitis C reactive or positive?
This indicates that the person who has antibodies reactive to the Hepatitis B or C virus and likely has been exposed to the disease (and likely has it).
What is reactive hepatitis?
hepatitis b have chance 70% cancer , and it will be longer in hospital .
What will happen if anti-HBs is reactive?
If anti-HBs is reactive, it indicates that the person is immune to the hepatitis B virus either due to vaccination or a past infection. This means that the person has developed antibodies against the hepatitis B surface antigen, providing protection against future hepatitis B infections.
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.
What does HBsAg reactive but HbsAb is negative means?
HBsAg reactive means the person has been infected with Hepatitis B virus. HbsAb negative indicates that the person does not have immunity against Hepatitis B. This combination suggests an active Hepatitis B infection without immunity.
What is the current condition of 24year old stff nurse her serology result are hepatitis B surface antigen is reactive hepatitis B e antibodies is reactive thanks?
THE REASON FOR THE POSITIVE SERUM IS BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN VACCINATED. SAD I agree but why is that sad?
If someone had the HBs Ag Quantitative test and the result was Reactive 250 IUml what does that means?
This stands for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen. It means that you have Hepatitis. If the HBsAB was positive, it would have meant that you have had hepatitis B in the past and have built antibodies.
What does Borderline Hep B Surface AB QL mean?
Hepatitis b surface ab(antibody) ql (qualitative) reactive is the prior exposure of hepatitis b. This exposure could be a natural exposure or that of a vaccine.
What does it mean HBsAg 5898 reactive unit COI?
HBsAg stands for hepatitis B surface antigen, a marker for hepatitis B virus infection. A reactive result indicates presence of the antigen in the blood. The 5898 value is the concentration of the antigen detected, measured in reactive units. COI stands for cutoff index, indicating the level of antibody concentration above which a test is considered positive. This result suggests an active hepatitis B infection.
What pathogens cause hepatitis b?
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
What is the difference between reactive hepa. b and positive hepa. b?
Reactive HBsAg indicates a current infection with the Hepatitis B virus, while positive HBsAb indicates immunity due to past infection or vaccination. Both results are related to Hepatitis B, but one indicates current infection while the other indicates either past infection or vaccination.
