                                  or

Patient,s Cut Off  Level:-  0.067  ( Normal Cut Off Level :- < 0.190 )

What will be the  Comment ?

It is not possible to say because your test is not a quantitative test. Anything above the cut off value is interpreted  as positive, that is all.

my test shows hbsAg reactive the cut off value is 1.00 and my value is 1,560 ,,is this very high?

[StephenCastlecrag]

Yours is a qualitative test. Your report should state the result as  either positive or negative.

I have hbeag = 2.79 In my blood
What it means

[StephenCastlecrag]

There is no "normal range" of HBeAg. You are either HbeAg positive (reactive) or HbeAg negative.

In general HBeAg negative indicates inactive phase with low level of hbvdna (therefore low infectivity) and normal ALT.
