Hello,
please advise me on whether my hepatitis antibody level is whithin normal range. I am a health sector professional and I had my routine hepatitis B antibody levels checked recently.
My Anti-HBs antibody level was 1192 (eleven hundred) mIU/ml. The lab analyst informed me that they do not check for IgM or IgG levels, but the total antibody titer. She told me that Im okay and that I am protected against Hep B infection. From what I know, the protective level is 10 mIU/ml, so my almost twelve hundred seems an awful lot to me. Should I test myself for HBcAb total and/or IgM HBcAb?
I had my first anti-Hep B vaccination in 1993 and in 2003 I had a booster without any antibody level testing.
What should I do now?
Thank you very much,
Ann.
