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.

It means the virus is present, but do not panic. Many people live normally with Hepatitis B. A few more tests will help determine if it is long standing or recent. Further evaluation with tests like HBV DNA, LFT, HBeAg, and an ultrasound is advised to understand the stage and guide treatment

Take a HBV Dna Qualitative, Reflex To Quantitative (Viral Load)- Real Time Pcr Test or Take a LFT (Liver Function) Test Test

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?

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.
