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.
