Does it mean that there are hepatitis C antibodies in the body, or is it infected with hepatitis C virus? In fact, this is a question that many people who don't know about hepatitis C want to know. Let me give you a detailed introduction. 1, hepatitis C antibody is hepatitis C surface antibody, but hepatitis C antibody is not a protective antibody. Positive hepatitis C antibody indicates that there is hepatitis C antibody in the body, and it is very likely that there is hepatitis C virus in the body. Positive antibody to hepatitis C does not necessarily mean that you must have hepatitis C. Many friends have some misunderstandings about this. Positive hepatitis C antibody does not necessarily infect hepatitis C virus, and there are many false positive hepatitis C antibodies in positive hepatitis C antibody. 2. Hepatitis C virus invades the human body, the natural immune response of the human body, and hepatitis C antibodies produced by the immune system. If the majority of patients encounter hepatitis C antibody positive, they should go to a regular hospital for testing the genetic material of hepatitis C virus. If there is genetic material of hepatitis C virus, it means that there is virus in the body. If not, there is no virus. 3. Analyze the reasons for the positive hepatitis C antibody. When blood products containing hepatitis C antibody are imported, patients will be infected with hepatitis C virus, and hepatitis C antibody will be positive. However, with the passage of time, the collective will use its own immunity to remove hepatitis C virus, and foreign hepatitis C antibodies will be less and less. It will even disappear in a few months. Friendly reminder: patients should go to the hospital for treatment in time after discovering hepatitis C, so as to better treat the disease. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment to make themselves recover better.
