Laboratory Report: Liver

[Ckuc00r00]

I'm 23 years old from Philippines. No matter how the physician explained to me about the laboratory reports or the condition of my liver, I'm still confuse!

Date: 3-01-06
HBeAg(EIA)
Method: Enzyme Immunoassay

Patient's Absorbance: 0.20
Mean Control: +0.879
              -0.026

cut-off value: 0.051
Remarks: "Non-reactive"
-------------------------------------------

ANTI-HBe

Method: Enzyme Immunoassay
Result: "Reactive"
Patient's % Inhibition: 100.0%

Interpretation of Result
Less than 60% inhibition: Non-Reactive
More than 60% inhibition: Reactive
Method used: MONOLISA HBe by BIORAD
-------------------------------------------

SGPT (ALAT)
Results: 9.70
-------------------------------------------

Date: 2-21-06
HBsAg(EIA)
Method: Enzyme Immunoassay

Patient's Absorbance: more than 3.000
Mean Control: +0.626
              -0.123

cut-off value: 0.173
Remarks: "Reactive"
-------------------------------------------

What is the difference between HBsAg and HBeAg? What does the reactive and non-reactive means on the laboratory report? Do I have a chronic liver disease? What are the treatments? what more information you can give me about the laboratory report?

I been taking GODEX capsule once a day? GODEX <---?????

a simple word to explain, you are on the firststage of hepatitis B (hbsag).
a medication will help not to develop in hbe to hbc.

I looked all over to try and help you.
This was pretty much all I could find. Will try to copy and paste it...not to sure what I'm doing..hope it works.

You asked..What is the difference between HBsAg and HBeAg?

The hepatitis B virus and natural history

Hepatitis B virus is a partially double-stranded DNA virus that produces several proteins from four overlapping genes: the S (surface), C (core), P (polymerase), and X genes. The S gene produces three surface antigens, among which is HBsAg, used to diagnose HBV infection. The presence of HBsAg in the serum indicates ongoing infection and renders the carrier infectious.

The C gene produces hepatitis B early antigen (HBeAg) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). Presence of HBeAg in serum indicates a highly replicative virus, leading to a higher level of viral DNA in the serum and rendering the carrier highly infectious.

Im sorry I do not know much about interpreting these results. I would call the doctor and have the doctor explain in detail what this means to you.

Good luck.
