First blood work...Hep B+

Hello,

After search for info in what hepatitis B is, l came across this site. Please l took blood test after feeling sick in the past day and bellow is my result,which the doc.confirmed is hepatitis B. However, he doesn't have a clue so he is still trying to contact a specialist in this field.
Please what does this result remain and how bad is it ? my family doctor said l do not need treatment and that is just little virus left which my system have not cleared. But in June l should come for another blood work.


HBsAG----Positive

AHBC ( Anti-HBc )--- Positive

HBV-DNA (PCR) ---- Positive ( 325 Copies/ml )

Anti-HBc-IgM...negative

AST...35 (Normal...0-50)

ALT....39 ( Normal..0-50)

Also are...Gamma-GT....109 ( Normal..0 - 60 U/I )

HBE......27 ( Normal...27 - 33 )

KREA....Kreatini in Serum....1.21 ( Normal..0.70 - 1.20 )

HAV- Ak......IgG/CLIA .........>100 ( Normal ..> 9 )

Ever since l did this test l always feel back pain and its like something is moving in my body or am l going nut on my own or maybe the fear knowing l have hep.b in me making me feel this way ? Hep b shock my world. Wife and kids are hep b free ( kids got the vaccine after birth but wife not though she started the vaccine now )

Does that mean l cant infect others ? Please help explain my status,thanks in advance

@ stefano....l just discovered having hep b in February this year never had of hep b before and from my understanding having anti-HBc-IgM negative is a sign of chronic hep.b which is more than 6 month so should l try Alinia like you suggested? the hbsag quantity is not known for now guess l have to get that from my doctor when next l go for blood work. Normal ALT for men is below 30 u said but my doc said its normal ?

to be absolutely sure you are inactive carrier you must check with hbsag quantity
http://journals.lww.com/eurojgh/Abstract/2004/11000/Correlation_of_quantitative_assay_of_hepatitis_B.21.aspx

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17427556

according to the quantity of hbsag you might try alinia if you know for sure you have hbsag positive more than 6 months or just monitor, you have only two things which are not normal according to latest guidelines:
normal alt for men is below 30
hbvdna is still positive so you still have virus replication which is not a problem if you get alt below 30

abdominal pain is due to liver inflamation, liver gets bigger because of inflamation and press on surrouding organs, that's why you feel little pain

All your blood markers show that your Hep B is stable and harmless to yourself. Read this for more details: http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Hepatitis/HepB-Introduction--Welcome-Page/show/34?cid=153

The symptoms you feel now are either psychosomatic, or they are caused by something that is not Hep B. Most of us who have chronic Hep B feel no symptoms at all. And when some of us do feel symptoms, their ALT scores are over 10 times what you have.
