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?

Chromatography may give false negatives. ELISA (or ECLIA) is more accurate. HBsAg positive by ELISA confirms chronic infection. Consult a hepatologist.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B surface antigen) Test

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?

I tested HBsAg positive, and my doctor informed me that I was an inactive carrier. My liver function test values have been normal. Recently, I have been experiencing abdominal pain. My latest LFT remains normal, but an ultrasound showed hepatomegaly with a liver size of 162 mm. My SGPT is 40, SGOT is 24, and my HBV viral load is 9,000. I am attaching my report for your review. Please advise what treatment I require.

Recently I came to know that I have hepatitis B during blood donation and my blood report shows HBsAg greater than 280 IU per ml reactive. Please help me understand what this means and how I can know whether it is acute, chronic, or inactive carrier state. I am very scared and want to know how to overcome this situation. Is it curable and will Ayurvedic treatment help in eliminating HBV.
