Positive HBSaG >250 IU/mL?!

Actually, it would help to know the results of other tests in order to answer your question!.? HBsAg is the test for hepatitis B surface antibodies!.? A positive result is the earliest indicator of an acute hep B infection and often will identify that you are infected before symptoms appear!.? If you test positive at a level less than or equal to 10 IU/mL, that likely indicates exposure to the HBV vaccine!.? A positive result greater than 10/IU/mL indicates active infection!.? Unless you have a weakened immune system or chronic hep B infection, surface antibodies will disappear during the recovery period!.? However, normally other tests are performed to determine the status of the infection!.? A blood test for hep B "e" antigens will help determine? whether the infection is "active"!. A positive HBeAg test indicates that the virus is actively replicating and at this point, you would be highly infectious and could be experiencing liver damage!.? Also, doctors will test for hep B DNA!.? The HBV DNA titer test measures the "viral load" in the blood!.? Normally, if the HBV DNA is under 100,000 log copies/mL, the virus is likely inactive!.? If the viral load is over 100,000 log copies/mL, you have an active and replicating virus and in fact, may be experiencing some early symptoms, such as fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, itching, muscle/joint aches and fatigue!. But remember that about 30-40% of people with active hep B infections have no symptoms!.? So, generally, if you? have a positive HBsAg with a negative HBeAg and neg!. HBV DNA, you probably do not need any treatment, but do need to be checked by your doctor on a regular basis!.? If you have a positive HBsAg with a neg!. HBeAg and pos!. HBV DNA under 100,000 copies/mL, again, you probably won't need treatment but only constant monitoring!.? You are highly infectious and perhaps suffering liver damage or other problems if you have a pos!. HBeAg, or have a neg!. HBeAg with an HBV DNA over 100,000 copies/mL!. If that is the case, I'm assuming (hoping!) that your doctor has you under active treatment!.? I guess that this all can be confusing!.? I would say that in the absence of the additional blood testing, you currently have an active hep B infection and in your place, I would assume that the infection can be transmitted to others!.? As to whether the infection is dangerous at this point, again it is difficult to assess the potential damage without further testing or a recent medical history that indicates the presence of active symptoms of hep B!.??
