Hello doctor! I have been infected with hepatitis B for more than 10 years, my current health condition is normal. HBV DNA test index 4,607,251,381= 4.6x9log10. The doctor asked me for a quantitative HBV-DNA PCR test - how high is the hepatitis B virus load in the blood? Thank you!

Hello!
With your case of chronic hepatitis B virus 10 years ago, is there any treatment or is it just a healthy person carrying the infection? How are the AST, ALT, GGT HBsAg, HBeAg indexes? If the HBV DNA result is ≥20,000IU/mL, regardless of HBeAg positive or negative, an ALT ≥ 3 times the upper limit indicates an indication for antiviral therapy.
You can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System nationwide for a doctor to give you more advice and give appropriate treatment. Thank you for trusting and submitting the question "quantitative HBV-DNA PCR test - how high is the hepatitis B virus load in the blood?" to Vinmec. Best regards!
