Question 1

My hepatitis B report is as follows:
1. DNA Quantitative Amount is 42,200
2. HBsAg is Reactive
3. Surface Antigen is Negative
4. LFT is Normal
Please advise what steps I should take next. Should I be worried about these results?

Question 2

Sir, what is this viral load? I am worried about my health. Is hepatitis B curable? My report shows HBsAg provisionally reactive, and the lab has suggested a confirmatory HBsAg test. I have no symptoms mentioned in articles on the internet, but I am feeling very tired, and my weight has drastically reduced from 68 kg to 58 kg. Is this due to hepatitis B? How can I know whether it is acute or chronic? Is it fatal or life-threatening? I am very worried.

Question 3

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?

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.
