Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Good morning
I am sorry to hear about your disease
Your disease could indicate that you may be in inactive carrier stage. But before saying so I would like to know your age and sex, LFT reports, HBV DNA levels.
If everything is normal and DNA is at low level I am not worried about your hepatitis B and I would rather observe you with periodic tests (every 6 months to 12 months) as were done for you previously
Hepatitis B is an infection which need not be treated in all stages.
Indication for treatment will be persistently high liver enzymes, jaundice
I would suggest a family screening of HBSAG and vaccination of all of them who are negative and evaluation of them who all turn to be positive. This is important because this infection is transmitted commonly by mother to child transmission during birth or person to person transmission like unprotected sexual exposure
Hope this would answer your question
I would be happy to answer your future queries
Wish you a speedy recovery
