How Should I Interpret M Y Hep B Core Ab W/reflex Report?
Question: My Hep B Core Ab w/reflex reads: Hep B Core Ab Tot%E2%80%94Positive Abnormal; Hep B Core Ab, IgM%E2%80%94Negative; HBsAg Screen%E2%80%94Negative. In PLAIN TERMS, what does this mean?
Brief Answer:
In plain terms nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This report states that you have partial immunity to one of the structural components of the hepatitis B virus. This means exposure or healing of a previous infection (and therefore the immunity against it).
In plain terms please get vaccinated against Hepatitis B virus to develop proper immunity against it.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
