What causes elevated liver enzymes in people with a positive HBeAg test?

Question
I have a routine test for my loved one today. My relatives have never been tested for hepatitis. Tests at the present time show elevated liver enzymes: GOT 79.8 U/L, GPT 114.3 U/L, GGT 110.9U/L. Hepatitis A, hepatitis C, hepatitis E negative; HbSag negative, HBeAg positive. Could you please explain to the doctor what is the cause of elevated liver enzymes in a person with a positive HBeAg test result? Thank you doctor!
