Patient's question:
What does it mean if the hepatitis B surface antigen is negative and the antibody is positive?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to be of service to you. The test you mentioned is likely the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody test. Generally speaking, this situation indicates that you have previously been infected with the hepatitis B virus but have since recovered, or your immune system has regained the ability to fight the virus, which is also known as the "big three positive" hepatitis B condition. This is a severe form of hepatitis B, and patients are advised to seek timely and appropriate treatment. It is hoped that you can follow the doctor's advice for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods, to prevent worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
