I tested HBsAg positive, and my doctor informed me that I was an inactive carrier. My liver function test values have been normal. Recently, I have been experiencing abdominal pain. My latest LFT remains normal, but an ultrasound showed hepatomegaly with a liver size of 162 mm. My SGPT is 40, SGOT is 24, and my HBV viral load is 9,000. I am attaching my report for your review. Please advise what treatment I require.

Your hepatitis B looks inactive low enzymes levels, viral load 9000, yet the liver is a bit enlarged. Most carriers simply need 6 monthly monitoring. A FibroScan shows if any scarring is starting. Repeat viral load and LFTs guide whether treatment is needed.

I recently got a blood test and my report shows HBsAg high reactive 1432.08 S/CO. What does this mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Sir, I am 27 years old and have been suffering from Hepatitis B for the last 4 years. My recent test reports show: HBsAg: Negative (tested by chromatography) HBsAg: Positive (tested by immunochromatography) HBsAg: Positive (tested by ELISA) I am confused about which result should be considered valid. Could you please clarify?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am having hepatitis B virus and my liver function test and fibrosis reports are attached. My bilirubin is high. Will this have any effect on my body in the future? How should I manage it? My doctor told me that treatment is required only when SGOT and SGPT are high, and starting medicine before that is of no use. Is this correct, or should I start treatment now?
