Regarding HBV DNA quantitative test results

hi,
i am a male and was found positive for Hepatitis B about two years back. doctors say i am just a carrier. My recent LFT gave SGPT count as 56 which is out of the range of 13-40. so i got my HBV DNA quantitative test done. the result came out to be as "under detectable limit". what does this conclude?
i don't consume alcohol and am a healthy person as a whole.

1) Is the hepatitis B virus not replicating in my body?
2) Also i want to know the chances that my wife who has taken the vaccination for Hepatitis B gets this virus from me?

Sir I am a man of 47 years old ,
I didn’t do any hapatius b test before, my first test (days ago) shows that : HBs Ag + , sgot=24 , sgpt = 24
HBA Quantitative pcr shows 76 IU/Ml viral load.
do I need treatement or I have to wait maybe my body will get rid of the virus since the viral load is low , and what treatement is needed if any ?

hbvdna test alone is useless to say anything.the virus is present anyway indipendently from hbvdna results

you need hbsag quantity in iu/ml and fibroscan to make hbvdna test useful

also hbv genotype, hbeag, hbeab, ast-alt are needed to define status

Please help me to interpret this result;

< 6 IU/ml < 35 copies/ml The method used for HBV DNA Viral Load PCR is COBAS TaqMan HBV Test. The detectable range with this method is 6 - 110,000,000 IU/ml (35 - 640,200,000 copies/ml). The quantification is homogenous for all HBV genotypes tested.


do this mean that I have a virus on my blood? please help coz I don't know what to do.

Thank you so much,
