Hello,
With the question “The liver enzymes increase, is HBEAg positive, is it chronic hepatitis B? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your test results are so abnormal. You do not say whether you have been previously found to have HBsAg infection, how long it has been present, and whether you have been retested 6 months after that initial detection. To evaluate acute or chronic hepatitis, you should see a gastroenterologist and hepatobiliary specialist for advice on doing more tests.
If you still have questions about elevated liver enzymes, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
