Hepatitis B Monitoring

Hi everyone! I'm new on here and this is my first post!!

Ok, so I was diagnosed with Hep B in 2012 and since been monitoring the situation until last October when I left the UK for Lagos, Nigeria. Before then I had all the tests (Viral load less than 2000) and Fibroscan done (4.4kPa).

After a year I saw the physician last week who requested to have my LFTs, HBV DNA Viral Load and HBeAg status tests done and intimated that she might have to refer me to a gastroenterologist, contingent on my test results.

The LFTs results are out (informed by the hospital, haven't seen them) and I will have the DNA Viral load/HBeAg tests today at an external facility. My question is this: would these tests suffice in the interim or has something been left out?

Hi guys may concern lang ako. Ano po dapat kong gawin? Nag pa check ako ng Hepa Profile ko last Friday and eto yung results ko.
HBsAg .0467 Non Reactive
Anti - HBs 669.40 Reactive
Anti - HBc IgG 0.018 Reactive
Anti - HAV IgM 0.266 Non Reactive
HBeAg 0.110 Non Reactive
Anti - HBe 0.004 Reactive

I'm planning to apply as a Caregiver sa Japan. Ano po yung lagay ko? Since non reactive ako. Makakaalis ba ako next year? Sana mabigyan nyo ko ng kasagutan sa mga questions ko. Thank you so much in advance po.
