What does anti-HBs non reactive means?
Normal results are negative or nonreactive, meaning that
no hepatitis B surface antigen was found. If your test is positive or reactive, it may mean you are actively infected with HBV.
What is the normal result of anti-HBs?
For hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), a level less than 5 mIU is considered negative, while a
level more than 12 mIU is considered protective. Any value between 5 and 12 mIU is indeterminate and should be repeated.
How is Hbsag reactive treated?
Several antiviral medications — including
entecavir (Baraclude), tenofovir (Viread), lamivudine (Epivir), adefovir (Hepsera) and telbivudine (Tyzeka) — can help fight the virus and slow its ability to damage your liver. These drugs are taken by mouth. Talk to your doctor about which medication might be right for you.
What is HBs antibody negative?
Negative. If your HBsAb test is negative, it can mean many different things—but, in general, it means
you are not immune to the Hepatitis B virus. If your HBsAb test is negative, your healthcare provider may recommend getting the vaccine.
What happens if HBsAg is positive?
A positive HBsAg test result means that
you are infected and can spread the hepatitis B virus to others through your blood. anti-HBs or HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody) - A "positive" or "reactive" anti-HBs (or HBsAb) test result indicates that a person is protected against the hepatitis B virus.
Can I get pregnant if my husband has hepatitis B?
To put it simply,
yes, a person living with hepatitis B can get married. In fact, a healthy relationship can be a source of love and support for those who may feel alone in their diagnosis. Transmission of hepatitis B can be prevented in your partner; it's a vaccine preventable disease!
What is anti HBe positive mean?
Positive anti-HBe results usually indicate
inactivity of the virus and low infectivity. Positive anti-HBe results in the presence of detectable HBV DNA in serum also indicate active viral replication in these patients.
What is the fastest way to cure hepatitis B?
There's no cure for hepatitis B. The good news is it usually goes away by itself in 4 to 8 weeks. More than 9 out of 10 adults who get hepatitis B totally recover. However, about 1 in 20 people who get hepatitis B as adults become “carriers,” which means they have a chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis B infection.
Can I infect my partner with hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B can be a serious illness, and the virus
can be spread from an infected person to other family and household members, caregivers, and sexual partners.
Can I marry a girl with hepatitis B?
To put it simply, yes,
a person living with hepatitis B can get married. In fact, a healthy relationship can be a source of love and support for those who may feel alone in their diagnosis. Transmission of hepatitis B can be prevented in your partner; it's a vaccine preventable disease!
Is it safe to be around someone with hepatitis B?
Anyone who lives with or is close to someone who has been
diagnosed with chronic Hepatitis B should get tested. Hepatitis B can be a serious illness, and the virus can be spread from an infected person to other family and household members, caregivers, and sexual partners.
Can HBsAg become negative?
Patients who become HBsAg negative and develop antibody to HBsAg (anti-HBs) are diagnosed as
having resolved hepatitis B [3,4]. This is an uncommon phenomenon in chronic HBV infection.
What is HBe antigen?
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is
a small polypeptide that exists in a free form in the serum of individuals during the early phase of hepatitis B infection, soon after hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) becomes detectable. Serum levels of both HBeAg and HBsAg rise rapidly during the period of viral replication.
How long can a hepatitis B patient live?
The
estimated carrier life expectancy is 71.8 years, as compared to 76.2 years among noncarriers (Figure 5). These results are consistent with other estimates, which indicate that 15% to 40% of HBV carriers die of liver complications.
Is hepatitis B permanent?
There's no cure for hepatitis B. The good news is it usually goes away by itself in 4 to 8 weeks. More than 9 out of 10 adults who get hepatitis B totally recover. However, about 1 in 20 people who get hepatitis B as adults become “carriers,” which means they have a chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis B infection.
Can I have a baby if my husband has hepatitis B?
Since HBV is a blood-borne virus, unvaccinated pregnant women would be
at risk of HBV exposure if their fetuses carried the virus from the fathers. On the other hand, maternal antibodies can pass through the placenta and enter the fetal circulation freely.
Can I get hepatitis B from kissing?
How is it spread? Hepatitis B is not spread through sneezing, coughing, hugging, or breastfeeding. Although the virus can be found in saliva,
it is not believed to be spread through kissing or sharing utensils.
Can HBsAg be cleared?
While hepatitis B
never really goes away, once you clear HBsAg your risk of liver damage and liver cancer diminish tremendously. It's worth a celebration, but you need to continue to be monitored as you age.
Can HBsAg positive be cured?
A vaccine can prevent hepatitis B, but
there's no cure if you have the condition. If you're infected, taking certain precautions can help prevent spreading the virus to others.
What is the meaning of anti-HBe reactive?
When the anti-HBe is also reactive, this means
the individual is in the process of healing and is less contagious. A non-reactive HBeAg result (with a reactive anti-HBe result) in a person with hepatitis B indicates that the infection is in its initial phase, before peak replication of the virus.
