are you sure that your Anti-HBsAg is also positive? becoz as far as i know, u cant have a positive Anti_HBsAg with a positive HBsAg at the same time...
my HBsAg,anti HBsAG,HBeAG,anti HBeAG,HBC Igm are all positive what it is all about?pls reply
if the result of HBsag is 3,553.00 is it too much?
can some one explain this result for me:
HBSAG VALUE 771.56IU/L
what does HBSAG value 0f 771/56 IU/L MEANS
It looks like you are an inactive carrier as your HBV DNA is low. It is a good sign. but you need to see your doctor to get more info from him.

Hepatitis B Viral DNA, Quantitative, bDNA
HBV DNA, Quantitative * <2000 copies/mL or <357 IU/mL
[Reporting range (2000 copies/mL to 100,000,000 copies/mL or 357 IU/mL
to 17857100 IU/mL)]
Note:
This test quantifies DNA of free HBV virions in the serum plasma. HBV
viral DNA is a marker of viral presence. Persistence of HBV DNA is as-
sociated with progression to chronic hepatitis B infection. HBV DNA
levels may be used to determine infectivity, to predict response to
interferon therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B and to
monitor response to therapy.
* This test is intended for use as an aid in management of HBV
infected patients and is not intended for use in the initial
diagnosis of HBV infection.
HEPATITIS B CORE, TOTAL ANTIBODY
Index Value 0.07
Result: Reactive
________________________________________________________________
|Interpretation: |
| Index Value |
| 1.001 - 3.000 Non Reactive |
| 0.000 - 1.000 Reactive |
|________________________________________________________________|
Comments:
Anti HBc is used to monitor the progress of Hepatitis B viral infect-
ion. It is found in serum shortly after the appearance of Hepatitis B
surface antigen in acute hepatitis B infections. It persists after the
disappearance of HBsAg and before the appearance of HBsAb. In the ab-
sence of any other hepatitis marker an individual with detectable
levels of Anti HBc Total may be actively infective with HBV or the
infection may have resolved leaving the individual immune. At times
it may be the only marker detectable in the blood of HBV infected
individuals.
False Positive Results
1) Presence of particulate matter in the patient sample
particularly fibrin clots and cellular material
2) Patients on heparin therapy
HEPATITIS B CORE, IgM ANTIBODY
Index Value 0.27
Result: Non Reactive
________________________________________________________________
|Interpretation: |
| Index Value |
| < 0.80 Non Reactive |
| 0.80 - 1.20 Borderline Reactive |
| > 1.20 Reactive |
| |
|Recommendation: |
|Patients exhibiting Borderline Reactivity should be monitored |
|at approximately 1 week intervals. This will distinguish rising |
|levels associated with acute hepatitis B infection from decrea- |
|sing or unchanging levels associated with recovery. |

Comments:
This antibody has been detected in most acute viral infections and is
a reliable marker in acute disease. High levels of Anti HBc IgM are
detected in acute Hepatitis B while low levels are detected in chronic
Hepatitis B infection. This antibody is detected before or at the
onset of symptoms and the reactivity may persist for years after ill-
ness. HBsAg and HBeAg are transient and disappear quickly. Core anti-
body reactivity may outlast Anti HBs and occasionally may be the only
marker of either current or past infection. It is the only specific
marker for the diagnosis of acute Hepatitis B infection.
REPORT COMPLETED
Tests Requested:
HBV DNA, QUANTITATIVE, BD, HB CORE(HBC) TOTAL#, HB CORE IGM (HBC IGM)
anybody can advise me.
thanks a lot for providing me a lot of information. DNA report is still awaited. As and when it receives, i will discuss. thanx a lot.
If your HDVDNA test comes back as undetectable you are considered to be an 'inactive carrier'.
You should have yearly ultrasound tests and AFP blood tests, but the good news is that the HepB will not shorten your life for inactive carriers who remain as such.
(i.e you should also monitor your LFT's yearly to make sure you don't become an active carrier. That is where it makes sense to take antivirals such as Lamuvidine)
How can a dr. prescribe you Lamuvidine without doing a HBVDNA test? That is almost criminal. You may just be whats called an 'inactive carrier' and no treatment is needed for now.
Hello, I noticed that no one is responding to your post. It might be that it is not understood. The problem you dicuss here is unknown to me so I can not help. I can however tell you how sorry I am that you are so frightened. Perhaps you could review that information you have and make sure the disease you decribe and the numbers are accurate. Usually someone here will know something or at least be able to tell you where to look
