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.

I recently got a blood test and my report shows HBsAg high reactive 1432.08 S/CO. What does this mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.

Hi Doctor, I am attaching my liver function test report for your review. Could you please guide me on whether these results indicate any risk of liver problems in the future? I do not drink or smoke, and I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, so I am concerned about why my liver function readings are elevated. Thank you in advance for your guidance.
