What is hypersensitive surface antigen?

What is the significance of ultrasensitive surface antigen and how to evaluate the test results? 1. Ultrasensitive surface antigen can be as high as 100,000 iu/ml in infected patients with a high level of virus, reflecting the level of virus in the liver cells. Hepatitis patients in treatment every 3 months to reduce 1/3 to be considered effective; treatment effective patients with surface antigen below 1000iu/ml are not prone to relapse. 2 ultrasensitive surface antigen in the “small triple” hepatitis patients, the virus is higher than 5 times iu/ml, usually a few thousand iu/ml, reflecting the level of virus in the liver and the degree of disease; in the virus has been turned negative chronic carriers reduced to a few hundred to a few dozen iu/ml, in the not very far future can have the hope of drug discontinuation. 3.Ultrasensitive test is very sensitive, but very inaccurate. Increasing or decreasing a few hundred or even a few thousand units can be a permissible error, and decreasing by half a factor (0.5 log10) equivalent to one-third of the original is meaningful.
