High Viral Load (Active Replication): Corresponds to a low Ct value (e.g., <25–30).
Low/Inactive Viral Load: Corresponds to a higher Ct value (e.g., >30–35).
You are positive for HepB and in active viral replication. You should followup with your doctor on additional tests and next step.
Thanks, Sir. But the doctor didn’t recommend any additional test and said I don’t need medication now.
@Abraham_A_Swaray Do you know if this is a recent (acute) infection, or is it chronic?
I am not a doctor. From your report, I understand that you are a 30-year-old from Liberia. Your viral load is measured to be 1250 iu/ml. This is not very high and is under 2,000 iu/ml. However, your ALT and AST are above normal, these are enzymes released by your liver cells or cells from other organs when they die or are damaged. Hepatitis B is a complicated and chronic disease, and whether you need treatment or not depends on many factors. I would suggest you consult an HBV specialist, and have a checkup at least every 6 months.
Hello
I would ask your Dr to check your platelet count, with AST and ALT can do special tests for liver fibrosis (APRI and FIB4). You may need treatment even if your viral load is low especially since your liver tests are also high. The WHO has simplified guidelines that recommend expanding treatment. Your Dr should check for other causes especially Hepatitis Delta Virus.
you have a liver disease…whether it’s HBV-related or not, that’s is another issue, your hepatologist will perform all the necessary examinaations
