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.

View allI am having hepatitis B virus and my liver function test and fibrosis reports are attached. My bilirubin is high. Will this have any effect on my body in the future? How should I manage it? My doctor told me that treatment is required only when SGOT and SGPT are high, and starting medicine before that is of no use. Is this correct, or should I start treatment now?

I tested HBsAg positive, and my doctor informed me that I was an inactive carrier. My liver function test values have been normal. Recently, I have been experiencing abdominal pain. My latest LFT remains normal, but an ultrasound showed hepatomegaly with a liver size of 162 mm. My SGPT is 40, SGOT is 24, and my HBV viral load is 9,000. I am attaching my report for your review. Please advise what treatment I require.
