I'm a bit concerned about understanding the difference between the HBsAg test done by the ELISA method and the ELFA method. My wife is HBsAg positive and she's been getting tested every 12 weeks. Her ELFA test results keep changing. If the percentage in the results is decreasing, does that mean she's getting better? Any insights on this would be really helpful.

Ideally there is no recovery from Hbsag if there is decrease in values that say viral load is decreasing but the disease is still there.

View allI'm really worried about my friend, she's been diagnosed with a liver hemangioma and after getting some blood tests and a CT scan, it turns out there's a small tumor on her liver.

If it's all removed you will need a liver transplant to replace your liver with a donated one.Some liver tumors make hormones that act on organs other than the liver which causes hypoglycaemia
