Blood Test Result - Hepatitis B

[haiean]

Hi , im 23 years old and recently i was diagnosed to have Hepatitis B , I am not sure if i just got it lately or way before, because as far as i can remember this was the first time i was tested for Hepatitis infection.Then i was asked by the physician to take a blood test for the following with results indicated can you help me interpret this?

Test         -       Result      -      Normal Value
ALT/SGPT -      57         (normal 5.00-40.00 IU/L)
ALT/SGOT -      41         (normal 5.00-37.00 IU/L)

HBeAg -    1150.552 reactive      (cutoff 1.0000)
Anti-HBe -   69.120  Non-reactive (cutoff 1.000)
Anti-HaV(IgG) - >100.0 Reactive  (cutoff 20.0mIU/ml)

I already did some research and i will be visiting the physician this coming weekend, i just want to hear some of your opinions.. Thanks

in any case look for abbott architect hbsag quantification, it is needed to monitor if treatments work, also hbvdna pcr is needed but it doesnt show if you are clearing the virus and immune modulating drugs work

Hi , im 23 years old and recently i was diagnosed to have Hepatitis B

liver at this age has no liver damage 99% times dispite high level replication so do not ever take antivirals like tenofovir, entecavir as first line or without immune modulators because they will not make any difference for you

before making he visit you need to check
hbvdna pcr quantity
hbsag quantity (the last one not available in philippines so do not bother because they will make different tests which are useless for you).if you happen to go or send blood samples to vietnam, india, china, singapore, korea they all have it

the best therapy is alinia monotherapy for about 4 week followed by alinia+interferon, if hbsag decreases keep this combo until hbsag is negative and if it doesn t decrease by 6 months stop therapy because it doesn t work for you
