Patient's question:
I have the hepatitis B virus in my blood, and every time I get tested, it's nothing serious. But I still don't quite understand. The result for the hepatitis B surface antigen test is 38,695.00, with the unit being IU/mL, but the normal range is 0.00-0.05? I want to know if this result isn't good. I just tried out for an electronics factory. But the health check made me really sad, and I'm very worried. I don't know if I can pass the health check.Doctor's answer:
HB surface antigen indicates that you are a carrier, and its level does not represent the amount of virus. In treatment, it can serve as a reference. The amount of virus is reflected by DNA. You need to have a liver function test. If the liver function is normal, you can be employed. The country has now terminated the testing of the five items for hepatitis B, but abnormal liver function will definitely interfere with your work. Liver disease is not easy to recover from. Friends with liver disease should maintain a positive attitude and face it with a proactive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating liver disease and believe that they can recover.
