Anti-HBs (antibodies to hepatitis B virus HBs antigen)

Rules of preparation for the study No special training is required. It is recommended to take blood no earlier than 4 hours after the last meal.

In which cases the analysis of "Anti-HBs (antibodies to the HBs antigen of hepatitis B virus)" is carried out: preparation for vaccination; confirmation of the effectiveness of vaccination; in the screening examination of people in close contact with a hepatitis B patient to assess the need for vaccination; detection of HBs antigen; control examinations of patients with hepatitis B after the disappearance of HBsAg; the clinical picture of viral hepatitis in the absence of markers of other viral hepatitis and HBs antigen.

The interpretation of the research results contains information for the attending physician and is not a diagnosis. The information in this section cannot be used for self-diagnosis and self-medication. An accurate diagnosis is made by a doctor using both the results of this examination and the necessary information from other sources: anamnesis, results of other examinations, etc. Units of measurement: mME/ml. Reference values: < 10 mMU/ml – no immune response; > 10 mMU/ml – the presence of an immune response. Interpretation of the results of the study "Anti-HBs (antibodies to the HBs antigen of the hepatitis B virus)" Raising the level Successful vaccination against hepatitis B. Acute hepatitis B, the recovery phase. Chronic hepatitis B with low infectivity. Values within the reference limits The effect of vaccination has not been achieved. The absence of hepatitis B in the past (in the absence of other markers of hepatitis B). Acute hepatitis B, incubation or acute period cannot be excluded. Chronic hepatitis B with high infectivity cannot be excluded. It is impossible to exclude the carrier of the HBs antigen with low replication.
