Faith result of hepatitis
After yr.s of pain and sleeplessness was dianosed of hepatitis on 15-09-2011, lab result on 3-10-11 shows LFT result normal with alt been 14, AST 20 and hbsag value 747.67iu/ml, hbeag-, hbeab+, hbcigm-, hbcigG**+, hbsab-, my Dr. says i'm chronic but i've seroconverted so no medicine, on 12-09-12 hbsag value 700.78iu/ml change a Dr. and lab result on 29-11-2012 shows viral load 11872iu/ml, 69095cp/ml, put on lamivudine 100mg for 3 months, lab result on 12-03-13 shows viral load 159iu/ml, 925cp/ml ask to continue with the lamivudine for another 3months before viral load test, i will do the test 2 weeks time, but since then i've not check the hbsag value, God in me, amen, believe, faith.
change doctor right away, lamivudine is not a first line hbv drug anymore because it made only virus mutations, it is too weak and just worsen hbv infection to extremely dangerous mutants
the only hbv drugs are: tenofovir (most potent no resistance), peginterferon (no resistance, the only one to cure hbv in a low percentage), entecavir (this cannot be used if lamivudine was used because of the mutants)
monitoring hbvdna is only useful for confirming drug is working or not, it means nothing to hbv infection, only hbsag quantity can show if infection is clearing
with a baseline value of hbsag around 700iu/ml the best drug to cure hbv and clear definitively was peginterferon or peginterferon plus tenofovir.get a real liver specialist as soon as possible and change drug to peginterferon or tenofovir, your only choice, you cannot use entecavir after using lamivudine
I've also just stared taking heptovit, but with lamivudine i'm afraid of the widrawal symtoms. Perginterferon has side effects
GL with your treatment. Looks like your ALT and AST is already low.
BTW, where do you get the heptovit products? Can I get a link. Cheers.

@musthinkpositive, whats GL and BTW. I will go to the dr. in 2 weeks, but i'm still taking lamivudine+heptovit.
That's Good Luck and By the Way. Where did you get the Heptovit products? Thx.
My dr prescribe it, n i buy it's only around $15. U can check it online. Before then the dr. wrote lamivudine and hepantivite but the pharmacy shop mistakely gave me lamivudine and hepantivir which i took for 3months b4 my viral load came down to 159iu/ml.
just for the readers lamivudine is out of guidelines as first line hbv drug, and complitely out of guidelines in most advanced countires for hbv almost a decade
it should never be used on hbv, among the mutants there are some that are not curable even if hbsag becomes negative, hbvdna und and normal ast-alt

Pls dr. Which one will just be good, because i feel stoping medication and take it like normal for hbsag to be negative naturally. What about hepantivir which i still hv a full parket.
Yep, give us an update on your HBSAG in 2 weeks time. Which country are you from where Dr can prescribe Heptovit products?
I'm from west africa, hv just done the viral load today. Hoping good Result in God's name i pray, Ameen.
you have to look for tenofovir which is a drug used for hiv too so you should have it in west africa too
no antiviral clear hbsag, they just stop hbv replication and liver damage

My heb b viral load is undetected using Roche Tagman assay lower limit of detection 9 iu/ml
hbvdna undetected means nothing, all antivirals make hbvdna und by time but all develop resistance, you have to use tenofovir to avoid resistance and lower hbsag, hbsag loss should happens in about 2 decades by tenofovir
Yes the dr. is not around 2 do the hbsag test, but i also belief by now i will be negative, b'cos it's long since i was 700iu/ml, for the sake of doubt i bought livolin forte today, b/4 the dr. comes.
you understood nothing about hbv, it takes decades to clear hbv and hbsag by tenofovir while it will never be cleared by other antivirals which likly make resistance
hbvdna means nothing to clearance of hbv and only tenofovir is safe as close as possible to no resistance
hbvdna means nothing to clearance of hbv and only tenofovir is safe as close as possible to no resistance
the only way to clear hbv fast is peginterferon add when, like in your case, hbsag is less than 1000-1500iu/ml.antivirals are very very very slow even when hbsag is 100-400iu/ml
I've gone for the hbsag test, hp a negative result and positive antibodies in God's name i pray Amen.
That's what I am trying to study about. Hep B is an immune disease. Most people gets rid of it with their immune system unless you are born with it or got it in early childhood. IFN is recommended by most dr because they know most people are not stringent about their diet and will not cut down smoking/alcohol/fast food.
Weird that even West Africa do HBsAg value and not Australia or USA.

Congratulations waschool! We are happy for you. Pray for all of us to be cured. How much count of hbs antibodies you got?
Aii, kind of surprice, my hbsag has just risen to 808.07 iu/ml from 700iu/ml, what might happen.
Bad luck dude. Although your HbsAg is still quite low. I think you need high ALT for it to decrease. Although Stef SA has been decreasing with normal ALT. So it's a mystery.
