Hepatitis B antibodies are antibodies against hepatitis B. The three most common antibodies are surface antibodies (anti-HBs), E antibodies (anti-HBe), and core antibodies (anti-HBc). Hepatitis B has other antibodies. Commonly used, omitted here.

Hepatitis B antibody

Hepatitis B antibody usually lasts 3-5 years, but the situation is different for each vaccinator. Some people have higher antibody levels and longer duration after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine; and some people have lower antibody levels after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine. , Shorter duration.

When the hepatitis B antibody disappears or is too low in the body, the hepatitis B vaccine should be replanted. Before replanting, the titer of the hepatitis B surface antibody should be measured. The higher the titer of the hepatitis B surface antibody in the serum, the stronger the protection and the longer the duration.

When the hepatitis B surface antibody titer is less than or equal to 10 IU / ml, it should be vaccinated within six months, and the antibody titer greater than 10 IU / ml can be replanted within 6 years. Liver disease experts recommend that the hepatitis B vaccine be given once more within 3 years after immunization.

When the hepatitis B virus invades the human body, it will stimulate the human immune system to produce an immune response, and the B cells in the immune system in the body will secrete a deliberate human immunoglobulin, that is, a surface antibody, which is specific to the hepatitis B surface antigen. Sexual combination, and then with the body's other immune capabilities, the hepatitis B virus is cleaned up, and at the same time, it can protect the body from being infected by the hepatitis B virus at the same time. With surface antibodies, it proves that people have developed immunity. If a positive result of hepatitis B surface antibodies is detected, it means that they are no longer infected with hepatitis B.

So, will hepatitis B surface antibodies disappear?

It is undeniable that hepatitis B surface antibodies will gradually decline or disappear over time. Therefore, in order to maintain the continuous and effective existence of hepatitis B antibodies, it is necessary to regularly check the status of hepatitis B surface antibodies and intensify vaccination against hepatitis B every 3-4 years.

First of all, the hepatitis B vaccine is given to newborns because the hepatitis B vaccine can prevent hepatitis B virus infection. After the newborn is successfully vaccinated against hepatitis B, it will ensure that he will not be infected with hepatitis B in the future . Therefore, newborns need to be vaccinated against hepatitis B.

Secondly, if hepatitis B is not treated effectively, it will develop in the direction of cirrhosis and liver cancer . Therefore, effective prevention of hepatitis B is the successful prevention of liver cirrhosis and the occurrence of liver cancer.

The principle of hepatitis B vaccine to prevent hepatitis B is to promote the body's immune cells to produce specific antibodies against hepatitis B virus. When the human body is infected with hepatitis B virus, this specific antibody will fire on the virus, clear the virus, and resist hepatitis B infection.

1. First, check carefully and evaluate the infectivity and outcome. Those who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen for the first time should also check serum alanine aminotransferase, hepatitis B core antibody immunoglobulin M, hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B E antigen , Hepatitis B E antibodies, and Hepatitis B surface antibodies. If conditions permit, it can also detect HBV DNA, DNA polymerase and so on.

2. Recheck in time. Those who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen detection for the first time should be re-examined after 1-2 weeks , and those who are double positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B E antigen should be rechecked every 3 months . Those without hepatitis B E antigen positive and asymptomatic can be re-examined every 3 months to 1 year .

3. To prevent transmission, women who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B E antigen should pay special attention to menstrual hygiene, prevent menstrual blood from contaminating hands and other daily necessities, cannot touch open wounds of others with bare hands, and cannot be a member of the nursing and diet industry. Pregnant women who require pregnancy should ask their doctors to check their liver function and HBV markers regularly. Newborns should use high titer hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine .

Those who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen for the first time should be re-examined after 1/2 to 2 weeks , while checking transaminase, hepatitis B core antibody immunoglobulin M, hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B E antigen, hepatitis B E antibody, and hepatitis B surface antigen. If transaminase rises, you should be hospitalized. If there is no increase in transaminase and other indicators have increased to different degrees or are positive, you should ask the doctor to make a preliminary evaluation of your own outcome and infectivity. If necessary, you should cooperate with the doctor to do a liver biopsy to understand whether the liver has pathology Changes, those with positive pathological findings should be treated as hepatitis B.

Those who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B E antigen should be checked every 3 months. Hepatitis B surface antigen-positive and non-HB-E antigen-positive, asymptomatic patients, can be re-examined once every 6 months to 1 year. Asymptomatic, the chance of hepatitis B virus carriers to become hepatitis is generally several times higher than that of ordinary people.

Women who are double positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B E antigen should pay special attention to menstrual hygiene and prevent menstrual blood from contaminating hands and daily necessities. If you are pregnant, you must ask your doctor to check your liver function and hepatitis B virus mark regularly. Newborns should use hepatitis B high titer immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine to prevent the next generation.

The tableware, dental tools, shavers, syringes, puncture needles, acupuncture needles, etc. of people with hepatitis B surface antigen positive should be separated from others, and prevent saliva, blood and other secretions from contaminating the environment and infecting others. Hepatitis B surface antigen-positive or hepatitis B E-antigen and hepatitis B core antibody-positive individuals can work, study, work, and enroll regularly, and undergo regular medical examinations, but they cannot undertake blood donation tasks.

Hepatitis B antibodies are antibodies that have a protective effect on the body. With its existence, our body can be protected from the invasion and distress of the hepatitis B virus. But in fact, the hepatitis B antibody has a titer. If the antibody titer is lower than 10 Miu / ml, it is also more likely to be infected with hepatitis B. So how to check the hepatitis B antibody titer?

traditional

Hepatitis B antibody test In fact, the hepatitis B surface antibody titer test requires quantitative inspection. If the hepatitis B surface antibody titer is greater than 10 cps / ml, you do not need to be vaccinated again. For those below 10 cps / ml, you should be vaccinated again. Generally, the cost of hepatitis B antibody testing is about 100 yuan. The cost of hepatitis B antibody testing has a great relationship with hospital equipment. It is recommended that the hepatitis B antibody test be performed at a professional liver disease hospital.

Know the cost of hepatitis B antibody testing ^[1]

1. Treat the disease with a calm mindset. When patients with hepatitis B are diagnosed, they are usually in the state of virus-carrying or mild hepatitis, so you don't need to be overly nervous and pessimistic. As long as you actively receive hepatitis B treatment , adhere to the confidence of winning, and the prognosis is mostly Is ideal.

2. Actively receive regular hepatitis B treatment . Some patients are prone to panic when they learn about their condition, and they may arbitrarily apply medicine and medication. This will easily delay the optimal timing of hepatitis B treatment and even cause other injuries to the body. You should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, ask a doctor to analyze the condition, explain the preventive measures, and know how to live.

3. Know the knowledge about liver disease and common knowledge about the disease, such as the route of infection, treatment methods, preventive measures, diet conditioning, etc., to help you master your own disease and effectively cooperate with the treatment, so as to promote the improvement of your condition and enable you to live as quickly as possible Normal life

4. Avoid transmitting the virus to others. Hepatitis B patients carry the hepatitis B virus. If they do not pay attention to their behaviors in daily life, they will easily infect others and cause harm. Therefore, patients with hepatitis B should try to avoid behaviors that cause infection to others. , Such as donating blood, using public appliances, etc.

5. Reducing negative impacts and reversing social concepts is a long-term and gradual process. Therefore, patients with hepatitis B should not publish their illnesses everywhere. They should take some self-protection measures. Those who are in general relationships can be kept confidential in order to avoid inconvenience. Necessary troubles that affect one's mood and healing process

6. Use legal means to protect yourself. When patients with hepatitis B encounter various unfair treatments in daily life and work, they should actively use legal means to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

In general, what we call hepatitis B antibodies are hepatitis B surface antibodies, that is, protective antibodies, which can effectively protect the human body from the harm of hepatitis B virus. In the two-and-a-half test of hepatitis B, people who are positive for hepatitis B surface antibodies are immune to hepatitis B virus. The human body can obtain hepatitis B surface antibodies through two ways: one is injected with hepatitis B vaccine, and the other is infected with hepatitis B virus, which produces antibodies in the body.

Only the higher the titer of the hepatitis B antibody in the serum, the stronger the protection. If the titer is too low, the protective effect will not be achieved and the hepatitis B will be infected. And over time, the hepatitis B antibody titer will gradually decrease. Therefore, having hepatitis B antibody does not guarantee that hepatitis B must not be prevented. When the hepatitis B antibody titer is less than 10mIU / mL, the hepatitis B vaccine should be strengthened. ^[4]

Although it is said that the presence of HBV antibodies reduces the chance of being infected with HBV, if a large amount of HBV invades the human body, the possibility of HBV infection is also very large. In recent years, the variation of HBV has gradually increased. Immune, so you still need to be cautious with hepatitis B antibodies, and regularly check the hepatitis B antibody titers at regular liver disease hospitals.
