View allI'm really concerned about a friend who recently got their blood test results back. They tested positive for Hepatitis B, and I'm trying to understand what the results mean. The results showed a Hepatitis B viral load of 940 IUml with a log value of 2.97, and the viral load was 5471 copiesml. I'm not sure if these numbers are high or what they indicate. Could you help me interpret if the results are positive or negative for Hepatitis B? I'm really anxious to get some clarity on this.

In cases like this, antiviral medications such as Entecavir or Tenofovir may be prescribed to help manage the infection.

I'm a bit worried since my scan showed a polyp in my gall bladder. Is this similar to a stone, or is it more like an overgrown cell?
