Hi,

HBsAg can not be completely eradicated in a patient suffering from HepB. However, complications maybe prevented if proper medication is taken and proper diet plan is followed. Treatment is advised if AST and ALT are > ULN and HBV DNA count on PCR is very high.

Liver enzymes and HBsAg status and HBV DNA PCR maybe done regularly every 6 to 12 months, even if HBV DNA count in PCR are not high, Liver enzymes should be monitored regularly while HepB markers may be checked every 6 to 12 months.

Hope to answer your concern. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wish you good and sound health.

Regards,
Dr. Tayyab Malik
