With the progress of science, hepatitis C patients found more and more, many patients as soon as the discovery of hepatitis C antibody, the heart is particularly nervous, that hepatitis C and hepatitis B, the same, difficult to treat, what is the result? A. The significance of hepatitis C antibodies
The hepatitis C antibody is an antibody produced by the body after the hepatitis C virus enters the body as a result of the body’s immune system recognizing the hepatitis C virus, so it is also a marker of the body’s infection with the hepatitis C virus. Because the hepatitis C virus is particularly variable, the production of hepatitis C antibodies is not as protective as hepatitis B antibodies and is a marker of hepatitis C virus infection. However, there are two possibilities for this infection: one is a previous infection or treatment that has left the body free of the virus, but left a marker of infection, like a scar from a cut on the arm. The other is a positive hepatitis C antibody and a positive hepatitis C virus, which is a hepatitis C patient and requires treatment. Therefore, it can be seen that hepatitis C antibodies are markers of hepatitis C virus infection in the human body, which are lifelong and not easily removed, but are not harmful to the body. Whether or not you are a hepatitis C patient depends on whether or not you have the hepatitis C virus in your body.
