Hello, I am a hepatitis B carrier. My LFT reports are normal, but my HBV DNA quantitative PCR test shows viral DNA at 853 IU/ml. Should this be a concern? I do not consume alcohol or cigarettes. My doctor has advised not to take any medication as long as my LFT reports remain normal. Please guide me on how to proceed. Current status: HBsAg: positive HBeAg: negative HBeAb: sometimes negative, sometimes positive

A viral load less than 2000 IU/mL with normal LFTs usually needs monitoring only. No treatment yet, but repeat the test periodically. Please take a repeat HBV DNA Quantitative PCR every 6 months. Take this test to track disease activity.

Sir, what is this viral load? I am worried about my health. Is hepatitis B curable? My report shows HBsAg provisionally reactive, and the lab has suggested a confirmatory HBsAg test. I have no symptoms mentioned in articles on the internet, but I am feeling very tired, and my weight has drastically reduced from 68 kg to 58 kg. Is this due to hepatitis B? How can I know whether it is acute or chronic? Is it fatal or life-threatening? I am very worried.

Hello, my HBsAg result is non reactive, and my Anti HBs value is 1.21 mIU per mL. What does this mean. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please check.

My mother has been having persistent fever with vomiting for the past six days. Her blood report shows liver enzymes at 300 which is much higher than the normal level of 35. What could be the possible reason and what precautions should we take in the meantime?
