Hello doctor! I just got back from the test, the diagnosis on the form says: Chronic hepatitis B, no hepatitis D coinfection. Please ask the doctor what does the Anti HBe test record mean? Does NEGATIVE 52.12 test result mean good or bad? Please advise and answer more, thank you doctor!

Hello! According to the doctor's conclusion, you have chronic hepatitis B virus infection, not hepatitis D virus co-infection. Anti-HBe is an antibody against the HBeAg antigen. Anti-HBe antibodies have an important role to prevent self-replicating or mutating of active hepatitis B viruses in the human body. Anti-HBe negative means that your body does not have antibodies against viral replication, which is also consistent with your chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
In this case, you need to go to reputable medical facilities to do more tests to evaluate the disease level and advise considering treatment: blood count, bilirubin, liver and kidney function, HBV- DNA load measurement, assessment of liver fibrosis...
If there are still questions about the question “What does the name of the Anti HBe test mean?" you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System to get more specialized examination and advice by specialist doctors! Best regards!
