Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I have gone through your query and reports and understand your concern.
I have not seen your previous reports, hence I wont be able to comment on improvements or deterioration from the last one. But considering you are a hepatitis B positive patient, your reports seem to be quite normal. Yes, the globulin level is slightly increased which indicates some mild liver dysfunction. Some liver dysfunction is not unlikely considering your hepatitis status. However, the albumin-globulin ratio is not altered and is within the range, hence major liver problems can be ruled out.
If you have no symptoms, it does not look alarming to me, specially considering your LFT reports.

Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
