Aa
Finally got my first hbsag quant result...
I got it in Berlin so the unit is in German (IE/ml which I believe is equilient to IU/ml?? Can someone can confirm that please):
Hepatitis Diagnostik
HBs-Antigen i.S. (quant.) (CMIA) 2217 IE/ml
Normal ref range: < 0.05
My last hbv dna I got a month and a half ago was around 800-900 ui/ml
Genotype is D with precore and bcp mutations
Vitamin d around 40/100 (taking daily doses of 2000u)
Hbeag is negative and hbeag is positive
Do I have good chances to seroconvert in the future without any meds (besides vitamin d)?
Am I a good candidate to start interferon treatment? What are my chances to response to it and to seroconvert?
Please advise.
Thanks!

Yes that's correct. Nobody here is doctors or experts.
You are right, according to most guidelines, itac does not need treatment, just regular monitoring.
But the trouble is, itac and most of the readers, want TO BE CURED!
Very few doctors talk about a cure, here everyone has an opinion on how to get cured. So just remember, most of the members here are not doctor, there are no sure ways to be cured, everyone needs to exercise his/her own judgement. And always consult your doctors - at least they have a duty of care and they are professional.

hello everyone. Itac's liver seems fine with ALT below 30, right? so why he needs medication,? and I remember reading one article that researchers or doctors are arguing about conducting liver biopsy instead of, relying on blood tests alone to treat hvb. funny thing is, we HVbers, (like somebody uses that term in this community), ahhh nevermind.
What do you mean I'm not inactive?
What state am I then?
normal chronic hbv, to be inactive you need:
hbsag below 1000iu/ml
hbvdna below 2000iu/ml
alt below 30
fibroscan below 6kpa
What state am I then?

you are not inactive and by time you probably will have other core mutations so going with no treatment is bad anyway.
so start tdf and then you will add peg when it will be less than 1000iu/ml
or wait the decades for the other threapies
