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.

Hepatitis B may be acute or chronic. Confirm with HBsAg (confirmatory), HBeAg, and viral load (HBV DNA). It can be managed with medications, especially if chronic. Tiredness and weight loss could be related. Please consult a hepatologist and get the required tests done.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a HBsAg - Quantitative (CMIA) Test or Take a Hbe Antigen ( HBE Ag) Test

View allI took Fluvoximine CR 100, Venlafaxine, Clofranil 25 all thrice a day and Ativan once a day for one month. I abruptly stopped due to numerous severe side effects. The next day, my blood report showed HBsAg positive. Could this be a result of these side effects and poor immune system caused by the medicines?

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.
