Patient's question:
Hepatitis B surface antigen 0.215, is it normal? I don't understand, what is the normal value? What tests do I need to do further?Doctor's answer:
You can send the test report to me for an accurate assessment, as the reference ranges vary depending on the testing method. Generally, the surface antigen of hepatitis B is within the range of 0 to 0.05, and your result is 0.215. Since 0.215 is greater than 0.05, it indicates a positive result, meaning you have hepatitis B virus and are contagious. It is recommended to undergo tests such as the hepatitis B panel, hepatitis B DNA, liver function tests, and abdominal ultrasound to evaluate the condition. Hepatitis B patients can, while understanding professional treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet is necessary in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
