Thank you for posting query at HCM.

i have gone thorough your present symptoms and history.
for pruritus (itching) antihistamine medication maybe used.
itching maybe due to hyperbilirubinemia.

i assume you are over weight too and maybe suffering from Fatty liver disease besides HepB.
kindly recheck HepB status (HBeAg. PCR and HBsAg) and
Liver enzymes ,CBC and ESR.
discuss with your treating hepatologist if you need to check autoantibodies esp for Primary Biliary Cirrhosis or PSC.
visit a heptologist with the lab results.

after obtaining results of aforementioned tests, post here or visit treating physician.
meanwhile:
advice:
- also test your blood sugar level
- LOOSE weight
- abstinence from alcohol
- FAT FREE diet
- NO red meat
- vegetables should be ingested daily
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports), REST more.
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- udiliv maybe taken (consult hepatologist/ treating physician)
- despite diet and losing weight; if cholestrol remains high ; you maybe need medication to lower it (statin drug)

Repeat LIver function test and lipid profile after 6 to 8 weeks.

Health professionals aim to diagnose properly and manage patients according to their limited knowledge. Cure is blessed by the ONE who Created us, whose power and knowledge is unlimited .
wish you good health.
regards,
