Hello doctor! I have hepatitis B and have been treated in 6 months, I tested again negative results, nothing wrong. Now in October, when I go to the doctor again, my HBsab level is up to 34.3. Please ask the doctor, has been treated for hepatitis B but the test has an HBsab index of 34.3, is it okay? The doctor at the hospital told me to go back to the doctor in 3 months, but I'm worried if I'm at risk of getting it again? Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: “Having been treated for hepatitis B but the test has an HBsab index of 34.3, is it okay? ” as follows:
The doctor is not sure whether you have been diagnosed with active hepatitis B or inactive hepatitis B? What medication have you been prescribed? If your HBsAg test returns 4 months after stopping the drug, you may have taken the drug too soon. You should still follow the doctor's instructions to re-examine after 3 months to determine better, and treat according to the doctor's instructions to prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more detailed examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
