Diagonised HepB in 2011

[prataphumble]

Hello guys ,

I was diagonised with HBSAG +ve when I went to donate blood in 2011 .Since then I am doing routine checkup every 6-8 months with LFT , HBV DNA & Ultrasound . Below is my latest report

LFT :
ALT : 39
AST : 69

Ultarsound :   Fatty liver with fat sparing

HBV DNA :  undetectable

HBEAG -VE

HBSAG : 66.6 IU/ML

HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIBODIES,     :   2.6
QUANTITATIVE

BMI:  22


Based on this report my doctor told me its still inactive & I dont need any treatment . Please suggest

1) me whether I am very contagious ??
2) Whats my current health of my liver
3) What chances are there that I'll get liver complications later in my life ??

Thanks in advance .

shows diffuse increase in echogenicity.

you have fatty liver, this is due to food quality and being overweight.continue with healthy diet and you will resolve this which can be worst than hbv

check your liver damage by firboscan, Ultrasound only checks for fatty liver and liver cancer, not for liver damage

I did tests this week and below is my report .  I had viral fever last week & physcian told these elevated results are due to viral infection .

SERUM BILIRUBIN TOTAL 1.0 mg/dL
SERUM BILIRUBIN DIRECT 0.25 mg/dL
BILIRUBIN INDIRECT 0.75 mg/dL
SERUM TOTAL PROTEIN 7.4 g/dL
SERUM ALBUMIN 4.4 g/dL
SERUM GLOBULIN 3.0 g/dL
A/ G RATIO 1.5
SERUM SGPT [ALT] 57 U/L
SERUM GAMMA GT 23 U/L
SERUM SGOT [AST] 42 U/L

Ultra sound sacn says "Liver measures ~ 144 mm, appears normal in size and shows diffuse increase in echogenicity. No focal parenchymal lesions identified. No evidence of intra/extrahepatic biliary tree dilatation noted. Portal vein measures ~ 12 mm."

1. Increased liver echogenicity.

2. Splenomegaly.

3. Very minimal ascites.

Thanks & regards.

Slowly I am getting out of this stigma .. Thanks a lot for your kind responses ...

I'll keep updating my results :)

you can do everything and live an intire life as long as you monitor liver damage by fibroscan, hbsag quantity in iu/ml, hbvdna and ast/alt

every 6 months you need to check for liver cancer too by ultrasound

if fibroscan is ok you can choose to take no drugs
