Question 1

what is the dangous level of hbsag ?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis B: This is not a numerical test, just positive/negative. If a test for HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) is positive, that person is infected with the hepatitis B virus. If you had a test that has given a numerical result, the report will indicate whether the number is high enough to count as positive. If you remain uncertain about your result, ask the doctor, clinic or lab where the test was done.

Question 2

im hbsag positive what does it means?

Accepted Answer

Active infection: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, presence of hepatitis B antigen in blood means active hepatitis B infection. It can be treated and you should see your doctor for treatment.

Question 3

what is the meaning of hbsag negative?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis antibody: Hepatitis b infection (or vaccine injection) stimulates production of igm and igg antibodies. Igm is short-lived antibody type and if present, suggests a recent infection, if igg is present, a past-infection (or sucessful immunization) is likely. A negative test suggests no prior infection or no prior immunization (or a failed immunization attempt).

Question 4

what is the difference between hbsag and hbsab?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis B: Hbsag is the short term of hepatitis b surface antigen and is a component of the hepatitis b virus. Hbsab is the antibody to this protein made by the person infected by hepatitis b virus or vaccinated against hepatitis b. See this site more info.

Question 5

what is a normal value range for the hbsag test?

Accepted Answer

Zero: Hepatitis B surface antigen should not be present in a normal person. If present, it means active hepatitis B infection.

Question 6

what does this mean ? result units normal range hbsag reactibe - none-reactibe?

Accepted Answer

: Nonreactive means the test was negative. No HBsAg was detected. However, your other questions makes it sound like your result may be positive. See that reply and check with your doctor or clinic. Good luck.

Question 7

what does it mean if your hbsag is positive but the "confirmation" test was normal?

Accepted Answer

Negative for HbSag: Initial screening tests are set at high sensitivity and generate some false positives. If the confiramtory test was negative and you do not have any other indication of hep b infection, then the results of the confimatory tests are the definitive results.

Question 8

what's the next step after doing the hbsag test? the result shows to be reactive 3986.57

Accepted Answer

You'll get a workup: If you're not acutely sick right now, chances are it will turn out that you're a chronic carrier. There are many millions of people in your situation and while it presents some problems, your life is far from ruined. Date only people who have been immunized -- nowadays this is almost everybody. A physician will manage you long-term. Best wishes.

Question 9

can i still go to the gym and do my routine workout even if i was diagnosed with a postive hbsag?

Accepted Answer

Of course: If you're not acutely sick with new-onset hepatitis b, i hope you will make physical fitness a priority. A good relationship with your treating physician is also key.

Question 10

how long will i live if i am hbsag positive at the age of 29?
is there any cure available for hbsag?

Accepted Answer

HepB surface Ag: If you have hepatitis B surface antigen it means that you have been infected with this virus, but whether you will develop chronic infection or develop antibodies depends upon when you were infected. Chronic hepatitis can also remain inactive. You need to be seen and followed by a hepatologist or infectious disease expert. There is now treatment available, and further testing will tell you more.
