Help interpreting Blood results
I recently got tested positive for Hep B. After that we did couple of followup tests. Here are the readings
HEP B SURFACE ANTIBODY - Indeterminate
HEP B SURFACE ANTIGEN - Positive
HEP B CORE AB,TOTAL IGG IG - Positive
HEP B CORE ANTIBODY,IGM - Negative
HEPATITIS B DNA LOG IU/ML 1.301
LOG10 HBV IU/ML 20
From my understanding i have Chronic Hep B, is that correct. I have not got appointment with as GI yet to do followup and discuss treatment options. Please help me understand this more.
Also is there a way for me to find how long I have been having this using any other tests, it is not going to help in my treatment but it will help me to understand more on how I got it.
Any insights or help is really appreciated.
