<human>: Hi, my name is linda. Recently i found out that i am HBsAg reactive or positive. To make sure i undergo a test HBsAg with titer (CMIA) and the result is 2113.07 and the reference range is C.O.V 1.00 REACTIve.. what does this means? Is this Chronic heapatitis?
<bot>: Hi there, Hbs Ag positivity either alone or in titles is not sufficient to label one as having chronic Hepatitis B. Chronic hepatitis B is defined as HBS Ag positivity that persists for 6 months, as almost in 90% of cases HBS Ag is cleared by bodies immunity within 6 months. It is also accompanied by Anti-Hep B core antibody positivity of Egg type. It would be wise to recheck your HBS Ag status after 6 months. If positiver than other markers of diseases like quantitative PCR for Hep B DNA, Complete blood count, Ultrasound of liver and ALT should be done. Wishing all the best and spontaneous recovery,
