Hello,
With the question “What does HBV-DNA quantification 858 copies/ml mean? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
SGOT (AST)1 247.8 H (less than 35 U/L ) (QT.TTXN.XN/shmd.05); SGPT (ALT) 358.4 H ( 3 - 30 U/L ); HBsAg (Quality, qualitative); NEG S/CO 0.510 ( Index < 1; S/Co < 1 ); Anti HBs (Quantitative, quantitative) 130.5 H (less than or equal to 10 mUI/mL) Anti HCV (Quality, qualitative) NEG S/CO 0.080 (S/Co<1; Index < 1 )
AST (SGOT) average Commonly found in many organs such as the liver, heart, muscles, kidneys, and brain. It is released into the bloodstream when one of these organs is damaged. The normal limit is less than 35 U/L in women and less than 50 U/L in men. ALT (SGPT) is found mostly in the liver. It is released into the bloodstream in the presence of liver damage. Therefore, it can be considered as a relatively specific indicator of liver status. The normal limit is less than 35 U/L in women and less than 50 U/L in men. When liver enzymes are high, it means that liver cells are being destroyed by a certain agent. The higher the liver enzymes, the more severe the damage to the liver. Elevated liver enzymes are common in people with hepatitis or other liver diseases caused by taking some drugs that increase liver enzymes, and people who are addicted to alcohol.
Elevated liver enzymes are classified into 3 levels:
Mild: Elevated liver enzymes are less than 5 times the normal level. Moderate level: Liver enzyme index is 5 - 10 times higher than normal level. Severity: The liver enzyme index is elevated 10 times higher than the normal level. There are many different causes of high liver enzymes such as: Hepatitis, high liver enzymes due to alcohol, high liver enzymes due to viruses, malaria, biliary tract disease,... Your case increases liver enzymes at moderate to high levels. elevated, but the cause of elevated liver enzymes is unknown. You need to go to the doctor immediately and do some more related tests to accurately diagnose the condition and have an appropriate treatment plan.
