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.

My mother has been having persistent fever with vomiting for the past six days. Her blood report shows liver enzymes at 300 which is much higher than the normal level of 35. What could be the possible reason and what precautions should we take in the meantime?
