Brief Answer:
once hepatitis B is positive ,the virus cant be completly removed
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Once hepatitis B is positive it cant be made negative, but depending upon LFT, HbeAg, anti HeAg and HBVDNA and also ultrasound abdomen we need to take a call on starting treatment .
And as of now, depending upon your reports there is no need to start treatment.
But regular follow up is must that is every 6 months you need to consult your gastroenterologist and get all the above blood tests.
Usually immune system is clear the virus automatically if its not then we can think of starting the treatment.
Some how get an ultrasound abdomen
And please send AST ,ALT and albumin levels
hope this information helps you
thank you
