Please clarify: If hbvdna is undetectable, then ntz doesn't work? It is useless to use ntz?
in quantitative test i'm REACTIVE patient count is 11.32 cut-oof value is 1.00 but in qualitative i'm NONREACTIVE
these are both qualitative, 11.32 is the reagent that gives positive hbsag not the quantity of hbsag itself, this is a mistake labs are doing to make confusion, that number is not important and they should say reactive/non reactive with no numbers
you have just used two qualitative assays, they are old now and some of them don t get some types of hbv.the best machine is abbott architet with quantification in iu/ml and it is the most sensitive at 0.05iu/ml
in quantitative test i'm REACTIVE patient count is 11.32 cut-oof value is 1.00 but in qualitative i'm NONREACTIVE
or you mean:
i always got hbsag non reactive?if so you don t have hbv (if also hbvdna pcr und)
Quantitative which HbsAg patient count is 11.32
use the unit after the number only iu/ml is quantitative
it is very strange that in the past they didn t use these stupid useless numbers s/co when we didn t have available the quantitative method and now they are making a lot of confusion, maybe they want people to think all test are quantitative now when they are not?
sorry i don t understand, you have tried abbott architet hbsag quantification range 0.05-250iu/ml?
this is more sensitive that qualitative hbsag in s/co or s/n, sometimes when you get non reactive from qualitative you detect hbsag with quantitative
