I have done some blood test and the result is: ALT 98, AST 36, HBeAg Negative, Anti-HBe Positive, IgM-HBcAb Negative, HBV-DNA QUANTITATIVE 0000 Ul/ml, HBc Ab Positive. Could you please explain to me in simple words what is my level of sickness? I have to see my doctor on monday. Thank you!

hello and welcome.
hbsag if +ve greater than six months indicates chronic hepatitis b
alt 98 is elevated and common in viral hepatitis
HBeAg indicates great infectivity as its -ve and anti hbe anti body +ve, so thats very good news.
resolution of infection is by loss of surface ag and development of surface antibody
the fact that u have e ab and core ab(though igm) indicates that u are in the window period of 2 to 6 weeks ie period between loss of surface ag and development of surface antibody.
hbv dna 0000 also indicates towards a positive outcome. plz let me know about ur hbsag and hbsab status to guide you further.
thanx. hv a nice day
