Question
Hello doctor, please tell me about my health condition a bit. I am 33 years old this year, in September 2019, I accidentally found myself infected with hepatitis B virus, then I went to the doctor, it was found that the virus was inactive, the ultrasound results and Liver enzyme tests showed normal results. In November 2019, I went to have a quantitative virus test, the quantitative result was very high 340,000,000 IU/ml, but the results of ultrasound and other tests were still normal. I don't use drugs, just pick the thorny thorns to dry and drink the water. On June 4, 2020, I went for a quantitative test, the result was negative, I went for a liver enzyme test with normal results, liver ultrasound showed that the liver had a slight rough structure. Please ask the doctor about my condition like that, do I just have acute hepatitis and have recovered or have chronic hepatitis. Expect an assessment of acute and chronic hepatitis B from your doctor.

History of acute or chronic hepatitis B or anti-HBc (+) ± anti-HBs HBsAg(-) Undetectable HBV DNA (by sensitive PCR) ALT normal Because he The doctor did not specify what test was negative, so the doctor could not answer exactly what condition he was in. It is best to go to reputable medical facilities or hospitals under Vinmec Health System to be checked by a doctor and have specific assessments of acute and chronic hepatitis B status.
