I went for Hbv test on 23nov14 and was positive. My liver test was over the skies.. Six months later, my liver test is all within range but I still have Hbv. Why did my doc ask me to do another test in 6months. Are my results very bad?
HbsAg. Reactive
Hbs anti < 10.0mIU/mL
HB e Ag Non-Reactive

HBV DNA: IU/ml : 6.64E+03
HBV DNA Log: 3.82
HBV DNA copies 3.86E+04
HBV (log copy/ml): 4.59
She said to do a liver scan and the same blood test again.
Is there any hope for full recovery?
Please help me understand

no hbvdna is useless today, fibroscan can show liver damage and hbsag quant infected cells/chances of hbv clearance, hbvdna is coomplementary of these two

HbsAg +ve(250IU/mL) in 2012

this test is incomplete, they did not diluite the sample to count hbsag higher than 250iu/ml,there are now kits for abbott architect that are automated for values higher than 250iu/ml, you should talk to the lab and tell them to do diluition or buy the new automatd kits

you need fibroscan and hbsag quantity in iu/ml to know if therapy is need and which one
