HEPATITIS B COMMUNITY
diagnosed as chronic Hep B

diagnosed as chronic Hep B

As I am reading different posts on testing for Hep B...I see that my test does not have a lot of information.  It only Hep B surf Ag as nonreactive and Hep B Core Ab, Igm as reactive.  Is this enough of a test to diagnose chronic Hep b?

Hep B surf Ag as nonreactive
Hep B Core Ab, Igm as reactive.

this is more than enough you had acute hbv and as an adult cleared infection like 98% of adults do.you just have to check hbsab antibody titer which will confirm your immunity

I don't completely understand your answer.  You say that it is more than enough to diagnose chronic Hep b?  ..but also say that I cleared the Hep b as an acute infection.  So I could still have chronic Hep B?
