Hi dear thanks for contacting health care magic....

Yes your Test value that is OD is very high ...
So you are strongly positive with hepatitis b antigen and you are chronic carrier case....

Here you might be in chronic active case....
Although your hbeag negative ..., Do your HBV RNA assay ...
If it is high and liver enzymes elevated since 3 to 6 month then antiviral drug needed to suppress viral multiplication....

Meanwhile follow below advise.....
-Low fat diet
-Less oil in diet
-Green leafy vegetables
-Refined food avoided
-Avoid alcohol
-One tsp cumin seed with water daily.....

Regular follow up done to prevent or delay cirrhosis like complication....

Keeping these in mind consult gastroenterologist.......

Take care....
