Hello,
To the question "How to read hepatitis B test results", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Test results: HBV DNA Taqman 141L680H (less than 250 copies/mL) 6.15 Log10 (less than 2.4Log10) is a quantitative test of the hepatitis B virus in the blood, calculated as copies/ml. This result is less than 250 copies/ml (or equivalent less than 2.4 Log10), which means the amount of hepatitis B virus in the blood is low (less than 250 virus in 01 ml of serum).
To accurately assess the level of hepatitis B virus infection, in addition to the viral load test as above, it is necessary to combine with many immunological, biochemical and other tests. You should go to a reputable hospital for a full examination and consultation.
