hbv is not a matter of 6months whatever antiviral or immune modulator you take it is a matter of decades...antivirals are for life since they are ineffective for hbv clearance
you can take entecavir for 5-6 years and then if hbsag has lowered around 1500iu/ml you can add pegintf with this combo starting from hbsag 1500iu/ml clerance is 50% at 48weeks
Hi,
Kanchi may i know from how many days you are having the hep b what is your genotype and when your doctor started medicine.
i am having the hep b from last 3 year i am 35 yrs old from hyderabad and i am hbeag-ve and alt are 38 ast 35. my doctor have not recomanded any medicine
want to check with you can HBSAG lowered by ETV for 6 months. I know it will not clear HBSAG but when started treatment by HBSAG Quantitative is 10025 iu/ml and after 6 months will their be any chance of getting HBSAG lowering than 10025 iu/ml..so, gradually once it comes down > 1500 iu/ml I can go for Interferon treatment along with ETV.
Please let me know
.
i got my HBV DNA numbers < 20 iu/ml undectable after 4 months of ETV...and for the pain doctor prescribed Rabeprazole sodium. After taking it for 3 days the pain is totally disappeared.. I am normal
doctor advised me to continue ETV of next 3 months and then review.
the pain in the liver has nothing to do with antivirals or hbv and has no meaning as to damage or infection, even if you were to clear hbv totally it d make no difference
have a healthy life, get slim and low weight and it will go away, a very low bmi like 21-22 can solve that, the pain is just pressure of organs in that area and is not in the liver but in organs around it
