I have test HBSAG+ recently and HBEAG Negaitive and HBV DNA Negitive. I dont understand what should i do to get my HBSAG to negitive. Please let me know what kind of treatment i should proceed further and lead a healthy life.
My Liver function test is very normal :
Below are my Liver test :

My HBSAG+ count 5290 Method Eclia ?

Is the Viral laod is more..HBVDNA is (und) and SGPT is slightly high 49 Range 30 - 45 ul/m.

Please let me know the status

[stef2011]

My HBSAG+ count 5290 Method Eclia ?
this means hbsag positive, no count, no hbsag quantity.quantitative is abbott architect not eclia.eclia is a very old method which shouldn t be used anymore because it can t detect hbsag mutants and cannot make hbsag quantitative, so eclia is useless for infected patients

HBVDNA is (und)
this is good, it means low replication and low liver damage but has nothing to do with the infection, the infection goes on but at least it doesn t make damage to the liver.
what is the sensibility of this test?does it detect lower than 20iu/ml?the best low range of detectability is 6-12iu/ml

SGPT is slightly high 49 Range 30 - 45 ul/m.
this can be due to unhealthy diet, life style (no gym, sedentary life style), fatty liver disease.but if hbvdna test sensibility is not 6-12iu/ml it can also be the virus making alt higher, usually when hbvdna gets closer to 0iu/ml alt gets to normal range which is below 30 for men and below 19 for women (the labs have old normal ranges which are not valid anymore)

Thanks Stefano,

I am 30 years now and have no symptoms and any discomfort..but often get severe cold and recover with 3 -  4 hours is this something to do with HBSAG+. i god my HBV DNA & HBEAG check couple of years ago  and both came to Negative and Dr. said that i am seroconvert and need not worry regarding the HBSAG+.

After which i was only checking my LFT regularly and no day it did not give abnormal results. please what checks should i do regualy

[stef2011]

Dr. said that i am seroconvert and need not worry regarding the HBSAG+.

change doctor, to ignorant, you just have cronic hbv like most but as long as hbvdna is und you have no liver damage.you have to monitor because it can change anytime or stay like that all your life

hbv and cronic hepatitis have no synthoms, the colds are not due to it.check your vit d level usually vit d 50-60ng/ml has less colds but that's just due to cold viruses not hbv

[hks267]

Do  any one got a Job rejection in  india for being an inactive carrier ?

Please answer

[hks267]

[hks267]

Hi..

I got my LFT done in July'2011 & Sept 2011.

Sept'2011 LFT Results

sgpt 48 iu/l normal range 10 - 40 iu/l

Alkaline phosphatase 318iu/l normal range 108 - 306 iu/l

Also, i gave HBV DNA quantification & USG Abdomen scan.

DNA test result will be given in 10 days.

USG Abdomen results :

Liver : normal in size and contour. Parenchymal echotexture is increased. No IHBD. CBD is normal. Portal vein is normal.
Ultersound findinds are :
Fatty infiltration of liver, No focal lesion.

Please advise on my report status...is their any indication of viral replicaion and also, let me know if i need to check for any additional blood test/lab test.
