How are these numbers in reference to acute HBV

My bilirubin is 0.3
Ast 30
Alt 40

Are these numbers common 3months into an (possible) acute hbv infection?

Why don t you just test for hbsAg and hbsAb ?
Your ALT and AST are slightly elevated. Before i found about my Hbv i had the same ALT and AST as your.

Because you need a prescription. The doctor ordered the test because I mentioned darker urine and light colored stools.

I read that most "acute" infections had ast, alt numbers in the hundereds to thousands.  The doctor ordered different blood tests to check my kidneys and liver.

I've never heard of low ast, alt or ggt numbers with an acute infection unless on meds.  Also my numbers are in normal range. At best high normal range.

Did you clear your hbv? Was it acute or chronic?
Unfortunately my hbv was chronic.

Why you not use a private company who can do that blood tests?
I'm going to request a test on my next visit. My doctor doesn't suspect it. But I'm asking anyways..

Can you describe any pain or discomfort you ever had with chronic hbv? (If you don't mind)

Sorry was trying to post new question not repost...

Are you to busy to answer questions? Is there anyone else who cares to help?

Where can I find private testing? I've been told I need a prescription?
Can you describe any symptoms you had? (Jaundice, bathroom issues, fatigue anything) need help from EXPERIENCED individuals
Im sorry, i didn t even see that you answer.
They ve changed this website lately, everything is messed up.

Ok, to answer: i didn t had any symptoms. On my annual testing, in 2012-2013-2014 my ALT was around : 35-37-41 - always on upper limit. Doctor said: don t worry about it. In 2015 i just choose random to test for hepB. On result i got hbsAg positive....
DNA-vhb was around 6000 ui/ml.

Only symptons that i have now is from time to time mild pain in right side on abdomen.
Now i m on entecavir 0.5mg for over 2years.
I've read chronic hbv will show normal numbers until a flare.

I've also read acute infection has highly elevated numbers regardless of symptoms.

I sure hope I'm good. And I hope you and everyone else will soon clear the infection.

I'm scared as hell

So your saying these numbers don't reflect a acute hbv infection?

I have more I should've listed.
LDH 176
ALBUMIN SERUM 5.3
GGT  59
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE  63

Also Urinalysis
Specific Gravity 1.010
pH 6.5
Bilirubin neg
Urobilinogen 0.2

I'm thinking I contracted HBV in March
Acute infection is only denoted by hbcag igm. Also during acute infection ur liver enzymes are highly elevated which is near normal in ur case.
Your responses are confusing.

""Also during acute infection ur liver enzymes are highly elevated which is near normal in ur case.""

Near normal in my case. Are my numbers normal or near normal?
