my ALT has spiked from last year's test of less than 40 to 222 this month
i haven't been taking anything for it yet because my SGPT was previously very low.
my brother has similar numbers (except his ALT is constant at 139 for 2 years now)
my brother has been taking Clevudine (Revovir) for 120 days now. his HBVDNA is unchanged at >640,000,000
my sister i think has taken entecavir and is reportedly responding very well to it.
i will of course consult with my doctor, but am surprised that revovir is not even mentioned in the Hep B welcome page. any help or opinion that doctor's don't normally tell the public?
thanks
