Hep B Queries

I had my check up last year(2010) and i found out that I am a Heb B carrier.
Here are the results of my lab tests.

                                                    REMARKS                            RATE                           CUT/NORMAL VALUE
HEPA B SURFACE ANTIGEN        REACTIVE                            181.79                                        2.0  
ANTI HBe                                     NON REACTIVE                     20.378                                       1.0
HBeAg                                         REACTIVE                            472.1                                          1.0
ANTI HBS                                     NON-REACTIVE                     0.0                                             10.0
ANTI BHc Igm                                NON REACTIVE                     0.31                                           0.0

SGPT                                                                                         31.8                                          0-47 IUL

ULTRASOUND INTERPRETATION:
       The liver is not grossly enlarged. Hepatic echo texture is diffusely decrease with accentuated portal walls. No focal lesion seen. The intra and extra - hepatic and portal venous radicals are not ectatic. No fluid is observed in the hepatorenal space. The gallbladder is normal in size and measures 7.0x2.3x2.3 cm. No nominal stone or sludge is noted.

IMPRESSION:
   Diffuse hepatorenchymal changes. May suggest an inflammatory process otherwise, sonographically remarkable study.

Kindly explain to me each test results for me to have a clearer view on my health status.

how about the case of so called healthy carrier? how can someone be a healthy carrier?

I have 3 siblings with the same case. And at some point I came to think that if you get this Hep B to your mother you could be a healthy carrier. I am correct?

your tests are useless to monitor a cronic hbv patient, US can only detect liver cancer nothing else

fibroscan
hbsag quantity in iu/ml by abbott architect
hbvdna pcr

this is the minimum to monitor hbv cronic patients, but none of these are available in the philippines, maybe only hbv pcr but that s useless without the other 2 tests
