We are planning for a pregnancy My wife is having hbseg positive Dr. advised to take dna hbv quantitative test and the result is in 12918300 ul/ml this is normal range load or it is a high load. Please advise if its high it is risk for mother and child pls advise.

Results of HBV serologic markers can be reported qualitatively or quantitatively as international units (IU) or signal per cutoff (s/c) value. For example, a hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level of less than 1 s/c is considered negative, while a level more than 5 s/c is considered positive. Any value between 1 and 5 s/c is indeterminate and should be repeated. For hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), a level less than 5 mIU is considered negative, while a level more than 12 mIU is considered protective. Any value between 5 and 12 mIU is indeterminate and should be repeated.
