Hbv dna is more important than hbsag quuantative i guess… but my dr suggested to do hbsag test after every 3-6 months … just to c how antiviral is performing … coz in the end loss of hbsag is more important… and it also helps in knowing feom where u have started your treatment… but hbv dna test is the one that indicates dange…! I prefer both on my routine checkup…
I was reading on google it say if u hbsag quantative level is above 1000 iu/ml… then it is not considered to be inactive carries … is it true??
My hbsag quantative was 2800iu/ml but hbv dna was 890iu/ml hbeag negative , hbeab reaactive…
Dear @Guru777,
An inactive carrier is someone who has HBV DNA < 2000 IU/mL and normal ALT in the absence of therapy. HBsAg can be < 1000 IU/mL but not always.
