Thanks for the information. Your first item now has a unit, so it is quantitative and I can understand the comment "weakly reactive" as I believe Less than 0.05 is considered negative. I can only speculate that you had an acute infection (the jaundice) and is now on your way to a full recovery. Or if you were chronic, you are still on the way to losing your HBsAg. Do check again your HBsAg, HBeAg, ALT, hbvdna in a few months time. No need for the vaccine or medication, just wait and see. Good luck.
//According to your results, you are HBeAg positive, yet you claim your hbvdna (virus replication) is less than 1000 copies/ml. //
Doing further research and talking to my doctor it seems I am in the Immune clearance state in which the HbeAg stays positive and DNA levels becomes less.
Thank you very much Stephen.One last query before I stop bugging you.
In my report of all the markers HbcAb-IgG shows the highest value which is 7.75 s/co.Can you please let me know how to interpret it ?
Also in the report HBsAb shows a value of 10 mIU/ml but is not marked as positive but instead marked as negative.
My apologies for the not posting information properly earlier.Yes it is HBsAg as the first item and the last item is
HbcAb-IgG.
HbsAg (+) --- 0.08 (weakly reactive) IU/ml
HBsAb (-)
HBeAg(+) --- 2.615 S/CO
HBeAb(+)--- 0.33 S/CO
HbcAb-IgG (+) ---7.75 S/CO
Yes the viral load is quite low, less than 1000 copies/ml.
I had a jaundice flare up about 15 days back and was hospitalized and it was there during the tests I tested positive for HBV
Kindly advice.
The first item of your result should be HBsAg, not HBsAb. The meaning of 0.08 (weakly reactive) is not clear, as this seems to be a qualitative test, since no unit is given.
According to your results, you are HBeAg positive, yet you claim your hbvdna (virus replication) is less than 1000 copies/ml. Normally, if you are HBeAg positive, your hbvdna would be very much higher. And also when and why did you have a flare of jaundice? Not knowing your full history of infection, it is difficult to interpret your results.
Also, please check your spelling: HBcAb-IgC? Should it be HBcAb igg?
