HepatitisB -LIver

[SRK]

Im a 22 year old male. My Ultrasound scan tst on liver shows the following data:

ALT 243 U/L
AST 108 U/L
HBV DNA is greater than 200,000,000 copies/ml

Can someone clearly explain what is the problem that Im facing.

Thanks.

Additional data to previous mail:

Hepatitis B surface Antigen - Positive.

Do I have Liver Cancer?

There is no indication of liver cancer but you are positive for hepatitis B. I'm sure your doctor will explain things to you but there is no reason to panic. There is treatment available for hep b. In the meantime be careful with any partner you have and be careful with your blood. Blood to blood is very dangerous. Most of us here are dealing with hepatitis c so you probably won't get a lot of information here. Register at www.medscape.com and search hepatitis b or google it. Good luck. Mike

when do you have your follow up appointment with your dr? this is something he should answer. We are patient to patient with no dr monitoring here.
It seems you have chronic hep B, because of the viral load. call your DR with your concerns.
best to you

You need to get in contact with doctor. Your viral load is pretty high but there is no evidence of liver cancer from those results so dont panic too much just get in touch with liver specialist and do it asap.
