What does a reactive HBsAg result indicate?

I just received results for HBsAg results and I was told its reactive at 13.67 MIU/ML. I did not understand the meaning whether positive or negative. 3 months ago I conducted a test in a different country- i.e. HBeAg and it was negative. I am a bit confused by the 2 results

Your HBsAg result of 13.67 MIU/ML indicates a positive result, meaning the hepatitis B virus is present in your blood. The negative HBeAg suggests a low level of viral activity, which is a positive aspect. Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain, but some individuals may not experience any signs at all. It’s crucial to consult a hepatologist who can provide guidance tailored to your situation, recommend follow-up tests, and discuss treatment options if necessary.

Female | 56

Liver cirrhosis is whe­re scar tissue builds up in the live­r. Longstanding issues like heavy drinking or viral he­patitis cause this. Some signs are tire­dness, swollen legs, and ye­llow skin. Doctors treat cirrhosis by controlling underlying problems. The­y may prevent alcohol use and pre­scribe drugs for symptoms. Eating well and exe­rcising also help manage cirrhosis.

Sir/ma'am I did a cbt,lft,kft test My hb-16 (13-17) Rbc-5.6(4.5-5.5) Pcv-50.3%(40-50) Sgpt-72(45) Sgot-38.5(35) Ggt-83(55) Uric acid-8.8(7) It is elevated..I am worried about the results

Male | 22

Some of your test results are unusually high. This may also be linked to the liver or the kidneys performing under the best conditions. High SGPT, SGOT, and GGT levels are potentially associated with liver diseases, while high uric acid levels could be a symptom of kidney disorders. You may not notice any symptoms, but it would be great to visit a physician to know the cause and receive the right treatment.

Hi i have recently gotten a level of 104 ALT on a blood test and my mom is freaking out I really don't want to have anything serious and i'm really scared. Could it be because of my inactivity levels during the summer? I recently gained a lot of weight since I did not exercise in the summer and I am now 5'8 and 202 pounds.

Male | 18

You're worried about your ALT level being 104. ALT is a liver enzyme that can rise when there's a liver issue. Inactivity and weight gain can affect liver health, often leading to fatty liver, even without symptoms. The solution is regular exercise and a healthier diet. Taking care of your liver through a healthy lifestyle is key.

Female | 44

Thank you for looking after your health proactively. The remedy Livolin is largely recommended for liver assist, which, on the other hand, can have some antioxidant advantages, though. The first step in starting or changing a supplement is to consult your healthcare provider for safety, especially since you have hepatitis B. Assessing your liver function and viral load should be a priority for the sake of your health. The wise decision in such a case is indeed a medical consultation instead of using supplements alone. I suggest that you have a deep talk with your physician in order to check whether the new entry fits to your health needs and your treatment plan. It’s your own precious life and you are making the best decisions to control your health.

Liver spots and swelling can indicate serious issues like fatty liver disease or hepatitis. It is crucial to see a hepatologist, a liver specialist, for proper diagnosis and treatment. Self-treatment is not recommended. Please consult a hepatologist as soon as possible for a detailed evaluation and appropriate care.

My father suffering from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Male | 53

This is a state where the liver gets fat-rich and thus there is inflammation. Symptoms can be tiredness, pain in your abdomen, and jaundice when the skin and eyes go yellow. To help, he will likely have to eat healthy food, exercise, and avoid alcohol. These changes can help his liver to be intact.

What amount of s.g.p.t value to normal liver

Male | 18

When we assess S.L.T. the S.G.P.T level is being analyzed. A normal S.G.P.T level for a healthy liver is below 40 units per liter. Higher levels of the liver could indicate that it is not healthy. Signs like weakness, jaundice, or the yellowing of the skin, are some of the symptoms. Drinking too much alcohol or having a fatty liver are among the causes. To get better, drink less of alcohol and eat a diet full of vegetables.
