Hep B Results

[Scott54]

Hi

Couple of months i descovered that i have Hep B positive
the test came with the following results

HBsAg        Detected
HBsAb        < 10 IU/L
HBcIgM       Not detected
HBcT          Detected

Platelets      139  Normal ( 150 - 450 )

What these result mean, and what can i do to get rid of it

[Rome70]

According to current guidlines you need no treatment. But to be 100% sure yuo should do fibroscan and ultrasound. Also hbsag quantitive would give you a hint if you can get rid of the bug forever.

Forgot to post those

HBsAg                                      detected
Supplementary B surface Ag      detected
HBeAg                                     NOT detected
HBeAb                                     detected
HBcAb                                     detected

[Scott54]

those tests are all complementary, the main tests are hbsag in iu/ml and fibroscan

platlets are too low, ahve a fibroscan as soon as you can, low plts can be severe damaged liver but it can also be due to other less serious things like an ongoing immune response etc.

fibroscan will confirm what your liver status is and if treatment is necessary

[Scott54]

I haven't received any sort of treatment yet.

I'll be back with results for the tests you mentioned as soon they're ready.

Thanks Alot

The tests that you have posted are not enough to confirm what your doctor said, you need to know hbvdna quantity, hbeag, hbeab, ultrasound, fibroscan, hbsag quant., alt.

[Scott54]

The doctor told me its not critical at this stage and i only need to do a test every 6 months.
he says im in Hep B carrier state

[Rome70]

This looks like chronic hbv, there is no simple way to get rid of it.

Is a place to start.
