Is the increase of hepatitis B core antibody good or bad?

Anti-HBc is an antibody against the core protein of hepatitis B virus, which usually appears after being infected with hepatitis B virus. If a person's hepatitis B core antibody rises, it may mean that he is infected with hepatitis B virus, but he has recovered or is receiving treatment.

Therefore, the increase of hepatitis B core antibody itself is not a good thing or a bad thing, and it needs to be comprehensively judged by combining other indicators and medical history. For example, if a person is positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti -HBc) at the same time, he is probably a chronic hepatitis B patient. In addition, if a person is negative for HBsAg but positive for anti -HBc, he may have been infected with hepatitis B virus but recovered.

In a word, the increase of hepatitis B core antibody does not necessarily represent a certain disease or health problem, and it needs to be combined with other indicators and medical history for comprehensive analysis. If you have doubts about your level of hepatitis B core antibody, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation and diagnosis.
