HEPATITIS B COMMUNITY
Lab results from 2 months ago

Lab results from 2 months ago

Hi there, I have just got a print out of my HBV lab results which were done 2 months ago. Can anyone tell me what they mean as I am confused as having read sooooo mkuch stuff on HBV recently I have mixed my head up.

Hepatitus (hepatitis) B Surface Antigen: 0.1
{Hepatitus (hepatitis) B Surface Antigen: Positive (>0.06IU/ML)}

Anti-HBc Antibody: 15.26
{Antibody to Hepatitus (hepatitis) B Core: Positive (Index >1.1)}

Anti-HBc IgM Antibody: 2.73
{Hepatitus (hepatitis) B Core IgM Antibody: Positive (Index >1.1)}

Anti-HB e Antibody: 0.26
{Antibody to Hepatitus (hepatitis) Be: Positive (Index <0.9)}

Hepatitus (hepatitis) B e Antigen: 0.27
{Hepatitus (hepatitis) B e Antigen: Negative (Index < 0.9)}

It then says in writing:
Acute HBV diagnosed August 2008. Please note that the patient has produced antibodies against Hepatitus (hepatitis) B e Antigen and that the reactivity in the HBsAg assay is now substantially lower. The IgM antibody against hepatitus (hepatitis) B core antigen could be present at the time of seroconversion to either hepatitus (hepatitis) B e Antigen or hepatitus (hepatitis) B surface antigen. It would be prudent for the patient to retest in another 2/3 months for evidence of seroconversion against hepatitus (hepatitis) b surface antigen.

I am not sure what all of this means. Does this mean that I have developed Ant-HBs?? Is this what the Anti-HB e antibody is? Does it look like I am gonna get good news in the next few days coz I just had my blood taken today for retesting.
Thanks in advance for any response to this.

looks like your body is in the clearing phase of HBV. it has developed antibodies to hbv. obviously not enough to be clear of it as of two months ago but hopefully with the blood drawn last week you should hear better news.

good luck and let us know it goes
