Hi!
welcome to HCM!
High levels of HBV-DNA particles or “copies,” ranging from 100,000 to a billion viral copies per milliliter, indicate rapid viral replication in your liver. Low or undetectable levels, about 300 copies per milliliter, indicate an “inactive” infection. So in your brother's case it seems to be an inactive infection.
hope this helps!
