What else can I help you with?
Does hepatitis d have the Australia antigen?
Yes, Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is dependent on the presence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its replication. The Australia antigen, also known as Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), is present in individuals infected with HBV. Since HDV requires HBV to be present, individuals with Hepatitis D will also typically test positive for the Australia antigen.
What is the cure in hepatitis b surface antigen?
At present, there is no cure for Hepatitis B. There is a vaccine that will prevent it, however.
What does Hepatitis B HBsAg 8.0 means?
Hepatitis B HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) is a marker indicating an active Hepatitis B virus infection. A result of 8.0 indicates a quantifiable level of the antigen in the blood, suggesting that the virus is present and replicating. This could signify either an acute or chronic infection, and further testing may be necessary to determine the stage and management of the disease. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for interpretation and guidance based on this result.
What means Anti-HBs non reactive?
Anti Hbs is a titer measuring antibodies to the hepatitis B surface antigen. Anti Hbs reactive means that you are immune to hepatitis B, either due to previous immunization or recovery from hepatitis B.
Which of the following is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte a A antigen b B antigen c O antigen d Rh antigen?
The O antigen is not an antigen that may be found on the surface of an erythrocyte. A and B antigens are present in the ABO blood group system, while the Rh antigen is part of the Rh blood group system. O blood type individuals lack A and B antigens on their red blood cells.
What does this mean hep b core igm reactive but hep b surface ag nonreactive?
A reactive Hepatitis B core IgM test indicates a recent infection with the Hepatitis B virus. In contrast, a nonreactive Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) suggests that there is no active infection currently present. This combination may suggest that the individual is in the early stages of an acute infection or has cleared a past infection. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for further interpretation and potential follow-up testing.
Hepatitis b patients saliva is also dangerous like patients blood?
The hepatitis B virus can be present in an infected persons' saliva. However, it does not appear to be the case that this means an infected patients' saliva is also dangerous, like their blood is.
What is the result of getting HBsAg positive?
A positive HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) test indicates an active Hepatitis B virus infection. This means that the virus is present in the bloodstream, and the individual is potentially infectious to others. It can be either an acute or chronic infection, and further testing is usually required to determine the stage and appropriate management of the infection. It is important for individuals with a positive HBsAg to consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and potential treatment.
If the anti-A antibody causes blood to coagulate which antigen would be present on the red blood cells?
a
What does the presence of the Rh antigen mean?
Rh antigen, which is also called D antigen, indicates if the blood type is positive or negative. The presence of this antigen indicates the patient is Rh positive, the absence of this antigen reflects a blood type of Rh Negative. For example, if a person is O Positive, the Rh antigen is present.
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.)
In serum antigen present or not?
Yes, serum does contain antigens
