Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: “The HBsAg concentration decreased from 6549 to 5215.05 after 2 weeks, is the viral concentration decreased? ” as follows:
HBsAg is the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus. It is the first detected marker before clinical symptoms appear. Tests: HBsAg, Anti HBs, HBeAg, Anti HBe; HBc IgM + IgG, HBV load measurement is used to diagnose acute/chronic hepatitis and monitor treatment.
Your results on the HBsAg test last time was 6459 and after 2 weeks it was 5215.02 did not say anything about a decrease in the hepatitis B virus level. Because this result depends on the testing technique, the testing machine. , laboratory products or are you on non-hepatitis B treatment?
You need to do more tests of Anti HBs, HBeAg, Anti HBe; HBc IgM + IgG, measuring HBV load helps diagnose whether you have acute or chronic hepatitis B so that you have the right treatment attitude.
