The five hepatitis B laboratory tests should look at which of these five indicators are positive and which are negative, and determine whether you have hepatitis B and the status of the disease based on the positive indicators. Positive hepatitis B surface antigen, positive e antigen, positive core antibody, may be acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis or hepatitis B virus carriers, hepatitis B virus replication active, highly infectious. Positive surface antigen, positive or negative e antibody and positive core antibody may be acute hepatitis recovery, chronic hepatitis inactive or low replication stage, with mutation in the anterior C region, and weak infectiousness. Only positive core antibody suggests previous infection or recovery from acute hepatitis. e antibody positive and core antibody positive is recovery from acute hepatitis and may be infectious. Positive surface antibody, positive or negative e antibody, and positive core antibody suggest previous infection with hepatitis B virus. Only positive surface antibody is the result of hepatitis B vaccination that produced hepatitis B surface antibody and immunity to hepatitis B virus.
