Dear doctor, I have hepatitis B but the liver enzymes are normal, will it have much effect? Do I need treatment for hepatitis B?

I just had a blood test with AST:71 U/L (<=37). ALT :39.1 U/L (<=40). The doctor asked me how the AST and ALT levels are, I have liver disease? Thanks for the advice

Elevated liver enzymes is a folk concept often used in the case of liver tests, there are certain enzymes in the blood that are higher than normal. At the same time, many of us often mistake, liver enzyme test to mean liver function test.

AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are liver enzyme indicators that help reflect liver damage. Depending on the type of disease, these indicators will increase to a certain extent. If the cause of elevated liver enzymes is not corrected in time, these indicators may drop unexpectedly because there are no surviving liver cells.

A blood test to evaluate liver function is a common test because the prevalence of liver disease is increasing. So what is the purpose of liver blood tests, what are commonly used liver blood test indicators?
