Calcification in liver?

My recent ultrasound "suggest cluster of calcification in high left lobe. No focal soft tissue abnormality associated with it." My doctor believe it is no issue.

I search the internet. It looks like it may be caused by inflammation. I have been taking viread since 2010. My DNA is undetected. Liver funtions are all normal. Where did this inflammation come from? Wouldn't the inflammation cause ALT/AST rise?

Anybody has similar experiences?

Thanks

My doctor ordered a MRI for me. The report says:

There are some tiny subcapular cysts along the right lobe of the liver. The liver is otherwise normal in appearance. There is no underlying enhancing mass or nodularity.

I haven't discussed this with my doctor yet. Are those cysts serious? Thanks

I believe that the whole purpose for the antiviral is to reduce inflammation, so to prevent liver damages. Is it a concern if the are constant battles between the immune system and virus and causing damages? I understand that the immune system may win in low hbsag, but what if not?

inflammation can also rise with age, if you have high levels of vit d thats antinflammatory already, you may add high dose omega 3, epa/dhl from 3 to 5g are very strong antinflammatory.also note that Us is very dependent on operator and if operator is not good.....

Thanks. I am taking vitamin d now.

Because I have low hbsag (30iu/ml) and some level of hbsab (~7). Does that mean a fight between immune system and virus, causing some inflammation?
definitely so, even if alt is normal
