Please Help Interpret HBV test result


Hello everyone, I’m a chronic HBV patient for 7 years now, and I have been on treatment for 3 years with entevir (Baraclude).  Last year, 6/2013, I tested for Hep C which came back negative.
The problem that I have is that I’m waiting for an appointment with my new liver specialist which is in (12/2/2014).  Meanwhile, I ran out of meds since 10/5/2014.
Therefore, my primary physician order a hepatic profile test for me on 10/10/2014 to see if I can hold of the med until I see my new liver specialist.
I hope everyone can help me interpret this result because I too scare right now as I ran out of med for a month.  Thank you.
Here was my Hepatic Profile on 10/10/2014

Your tests were taken only 5 days after you stopped taking your medicine, so I don't think you can draw much conclusion from the results. I am sure your doctor would have told you that your ALT is normal and viral load was still undetectable then.
