how to interpret HBsAg with titer eclia

[michaelyuri]

hey guys!

Can somebody help me to interpret my HBsAg with titer eclia? last Sept 11, 2008 and just recently Dec 2,2008 i took the exam. The results were like this: Sept  11, 2008 HBsAg with titer eclia=1,279 reactive,  Dec 2,2008 HBsAg with titer eclia=1,500 reactive still, Anti HBs= nonreactive on both dates. I am a chronic inactive carrier. what do they mean? are the results indicative of a favorable condition  or is it the opposite?

i really do hope if someone is gonna interpret it well. thanks and more power,

so the person is worsening because hbsag is rising not improving, the levels are in iu/ml so the quantity is the same with all methods

At what level can we stop medication?

hbsag zeroiu/ml and hbsab at least 250iu/ml

Four months ago it was 1,600 IU/ml but on Abbot Architect.  This time it is ECLIA technique. I don't know the difference between these two technique.  You said if HBsAg quantitative <1,000 IU/ml, then the antibody is surging? At what level can we stop medication?

[stef2011]

yes if result is iu/ml, you just have to see iu/ml after the number

this hbsag quantity 329 IU/ml is extremely low and clearing infection, is it decreasing fast or stable?if decreasing low it is good to add interferon to current therapy so that clearance is faster

What HBsAg Quantitative (Technique ECLIA Quantitative) Positive 329 IU/ml (N:<0.05 IU/ml) means? Is it the same technique as Abbot Architect?

you have got hbv sometime during your life and now you are immune or you got vaccine at birth/very young
