HBSAg & HBV DNA Quantitaive PCR relation

[Abbassh]

Hi Guys

I am facing HBSAg +ve since 2000 when i was 15 years, now i m 27.
Following are my results.

HBSag Cut off: 1      Patient: 3393
HBeAG: Non Reactive
Anti Hbe: Reactive
ALT: 29
ASt: 26

HBV DNA PCR Quantitative: 1114 IU/ML & 3799 copies per ML

I have these questions:

1- Do HBSAg patient value and HVB DNA PCR value has any relation, as those values look close?
2- What are the units of HBSAg result? is it IU/ML?
3- I have inactive carrier as my PCR value is <2000, is it possible to have HBSAg negative??
4- What does HBSAg value exactly means?

thanks a lot

we posted many articles explaning hbsag, it is very long so better you search community

said very short it reflects virus infected cells in hbeag pos, virus suppression of our immune system on both hbeag pos and neg, total transactionl activity of cccdna on hbeag neg

you can easily see when it is qualitative because it has a cut off value 1

quantitative has lower limit of detection 0.05iu/ml
