EXPLAINER: Lab results and their interpretation

Good Morning.

I’m new here. I’m 27 years old male.

On 9th September 2023 i was diagnosed with hep b after a random blood donation.

I did hep b e antigen test and it was negative. HBV DNA was 729 iu/ml and core antibodies were positive.

I did liver function tests and they were normal.

I re-did all the tests in November and attached herewith are the results.

Is it an acute infection?

Should i begin treatment?
