Patient's question:
Negative for hepatitis B surface antigen, positive for surface antibody, negative for e antigen, positive for e antibody, positive for core antibody, what does this mean?Doctor's answer:
According to your hepatitis B five-item test results, the three antibodies are positive, indicating that you have previously been exposed to the hepatitis B virus and have now recovered or are in the recovery phase. In this case, further tests of liver function and hepatitis B virus quantification are needed. If the liver function test shows normal transaminase levels and a negative hepatitis B virus quantification, it proves that you have recovered. If the tests are abnormal, it means you are in the recovery phase. For severe hepatitis B patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
