Your ALT is high, suggesting that there is liver inflammation. However, this is not necessarily caused by hepatitis B; particularly if you are HBsAg-negative, other causes should be investigated as well.

Hi Dr
Is there possibility to see inflammation particularly caused by hep b.
Thank you

Dear @Salish99,

As mentioned, other causes are likely to be a more probable cause of the inflammation. If it is inflammation from HBV (for example, it is from an anti-viral immune response), then given you are HBsAg-negative, it will likely subside.

The best way to know for certain is to maintain monitoring and keep in touch with your doctor.

Hi Dr. @ThomasTu
Thank you.
One more question, when virus is in dorment state in liver does it still cause liver damage or it will damage when only it reactivate?
Thank you always

Hi @Salish99,

I guess it depends on what you mean by dormant state. If you mean when you are in a HBsAg-negative state, then there is no evidence to suggest that the HBV induces any liver damage when you maintain HBsAg-negativity,

Hope this helps,
Thomas

Hi Dr. @ThomasTu

Hi @Salish99,

After recovery from an acute infection, the general consensus is that there is no ongoing risk of liver damage from hep B (outside of the strong immunosuppression as mentioned in other threads).

Hope this helps,
Thomas
