no
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.
negative
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.
Yes, HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) can be negative, indicating that a person is not currently infected with the hepatitis B virus. A negative HBsAg test result may suggest either recovery from a past infection or that the person has never been infected. However, for a comprehensive understanding of hepatitis B status, additional tests such as anti-HBs and anti-HBc should also be considered.
The results for susceptibility are: antibody to EA = negative, antibody to VCA (either IgM or IgG) = negative, antibody to EBNA = negative.
A negative Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) result indicates that the individual is not currently infected with the Hepatitis B virus. This means there is no active viral replication in the body. However, it does not provide information about past infections or immunity, which would require additional tests, such as anti-HBs or anti-HBc, to determine.
A negative ABSC (antibody to hepatitis C) lab result indicates that there are no detectable antibodies to hepatitis C in your blood, suggesting that you likely do not have an active or past infection with the virus. However, it is important to note that this test may not detect recent infections, as antibodies can take weeks to develop. If you suspect exposure or have symptoms, further testing may be necessary. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Non-reactive for hepatitis B typically refers to a negative test result for hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg), indicating that a person is not currently infected with the virus. It can also refer to the absence of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs), suggesting that the individual has not been vaccinated or previously infected. In both cases, further testing may be needed to determine immunity status or the need for vaccination.
Some states require blood testing to stop the spreading of blood infected diseases, from hepatitis to HIV.
The results for current or recent infection are: antibody to EA = positive, antibody to VCA IgM = positive, antibody to VCA IgG = positive, antibody to EBNA = negative.
The antinuclear antibody test of blood is usually negative in Raynaud's disease
