My Test Results For Hep B Core Ab, Tot Came
need additional info to fully interpret
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Hepatitis B is associated with different types of proteins. Hepatitis b core antibody is formed as a result of one of this proteins
A positive result for hep b core ab tot- this means that there was a previous infection or an infection is ongoing
Additional results are needed to determine which is these is present.
Normally labs would also check hepatitis b surface antigen HBsAG or/and anti HBsAg (body's reaction to hepatitis surface antigen).
If HbsAg is also positive along with your result, it means that there may be an active infection which can be spread to other persons
If the anti HBsAg is positive along with your result , it means that there was a previous infection or you received a vaccine, either case, there is immunity
If this is the only thing that is positive then the result is not clear and most advise a repeat. It can mean - there is a mild persisting chronic infection, infection that has resolved or is resolving or the result is falsely positive
Additional info is needed to see what is the case for you
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
