Hep B antigen "non-reactive"

[basketballjones]

I received a letter saying the Hep B antigen is "non reactive", more tests ordered.  I will contact my doctor tomorrow.  What does that mean?  She told me I was a carrier two weeks ago.  Does this change anything?

hbv surface antigen                                 REACTIVE                   non-reactive
hbv surface antibody QL                      non-reactive                    non-reactive
signal to cut of                                         0.05

recheck with aboot architect or "siemens 6.0 or similar", maybe old machines are used and they cannot detect all hbsag types

so recheck hbsag, hbsab, hbcab, hbvdna pcr

Hi, can anybody answer , my HBsAg gets NON REACTIVE
but the HBeAg is positive with 6.2?? I don't understand it confused @?@

[stef2011]

hbsag reactive means you are infected by hbv and if it stays reactive for more than 6 months it is cronic hbv infection

you can also check hbcab igm instead of waiting 6 months to see if you clear hbsag, if it is negative you are cronic and should check liver damage by fibroscan, hbvdna pcr to see virus replication and ultrasound every 6 months to be able to cure liver cancer if it develops (if detected later than 6 months it might be not treatable and very little time is left until death)

i am pretty rude about liver cancer because there is only transplant or resection to avoid death and long survival only if hbvdna was und before surgery, so very little to do once it occurs
