Suggest Remedy To Change Reactive HBsAg Result To Non-reactive

Hi Doc! I m Jerald, 24, and my concern regards from my last test from a HBsAg reactive recently. Seven(7) years ago I undergone the same test and I m a non-reactive result. Do I have a chance to make it a non-reactive once again? Is there any ways(lifestyle changes) or medications that can resolve my issue? Thank you very much Sir and I appreciated your response toward my condition. God bless!

Hello,

a positive HBsAg suggests hepatitis B. Unfortunately hepatitis B cannot be treated with anything else besides medications. The rest of hepatitis B indices are important for the diagnosis (acute versus chronic hepatitis) and the liver function tests may provide additional information. Anti-HBs, Anti-HBc IgM & IgG, HBeAg and Anti-HBe are useful tests to assess a patient's hepatitis B status. ALT, AST, ALP, gamma-GT, albumin and total protein and serum immunoglobulins are also important tests in hepatitis. Finally, depending on the results of the aforementioned tests, an HBV-DNA measurement may help in treatment decisions.

You should consult your primary care physician for the first assessment.

I hope I've answered your question.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Kind Regards,
Dr Panagiotis Zografakis,
