Question 1

Hi, I am frequently getting itches on my palms and joint pains. My latest blood report shows HBsAg reactive status.

Question 2

Hello. I am 23 years old and have been having a cough for the last 3 months. The general physician advised me to do a few blood tests and a chest X ray. My chest X ray report is normal, but a few tests in my blood report are higher than the normal range. My RDW test is 15.3 percent, eosinophils are 11 percent and SGOT is 46 U/L. What does this indicate? Do I need to worry? My brother has Hepatitis B, so since my SGOT is slightly high, does it mean I am infected with Hep B or any other hepatitis? Is there a chance of me having tuberculosis according to these X ray and blood test reports? Please advise the further course of action and which doctor I should visit? I have attached my blood reports.

Question 3

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?

My HCV test report shows 14.35 IU/mL. Does this mean HCV is detected or not? If I do have HCV, what precautions or measures should I take to protect myself and others?

A result of 14.35 IU/mL suggests HCV is detected. You should consult a hepatologist for confirmation and treatment options to prevent liver damage.
