today we have hbv cure by sequential treatment antivirals and peginterferon add on in 3-5years.so if you carry the virus and want an hbv cure and not managment you just start

in any case managment is also driven by:
fibroscan results or if fibroscan is normal hbvdna, hbsag quantity

alt means nothing anymore, only a high alt may mean immune clearance with a declining hbsag

and what about if HBV DNA value is more than 2000 and the ALT is normal? Should we treat that patient? If so what is the best med to start?

They are right if dna < 2000 and LFT is normal it is not treated by the guidelienes. But you need to monitor every 6 months.
It does not mean that the virus will go away...
