Introduction
In general, a hepatitis B surface antibody level of 87.53 mIU/mL is considered normal. If a patient's hepatitis B surface antibody test shows weak positivity, revaccination is recommended to boost the antibody titer. It is advised that the patient receive a hepatitis B vaccine booster shot promptly. If any discomfort occurs, the patient should seek medical attention promptly and undergo standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance, which will help promote recovery.
In general, a hepatitis B surface antibody level of 87.53 mIU/mL is considered normal. The specific analysis is as follows:
The quantitative test result for hepatitis B surface antibody is interpreted as negative when between 0–10 mIU/mL, weakly positive when between 10–100 mIU/mL, and strongly positive when above 100 mIU/mL. A weakly positive result indicates either past infection with hepatitis B or prior vaccination, meaning protective antibodies have been produced and immunity has been established. However, a low antibody titer implies relatively weaker protection for the body. It is recommended to promptly receive a hepatitis B vaccine booster shot.
If a patient's hepatitis B surface antibody test shows a weakly positive result, they should receive additional doses of the hepatitis B vaccine to boost antibody levels. It is advised that patients promptly receive a hepatitis B vaccine booster. If any discomfort occurs, medical attention should be sought promptly and standardized treatment should be followed under a doctor’s guidance, which will help support recovery.
