High SGPT

by Ezra88, Feb 12, 2009 06:41AM
I started taking Baraclude 0.5 mg for my hepatitis with 234,689, 065 copies / ml since November and I'm pretty alarmed when i got my SGPT result today when it went from 43 to 87 U/L.  Should i worry?  or is this an expected result from the medication Im taking?

What is your DNA now?

I'm not sure.  It does make sense though.  If the antiviral is killing off Hep B its taking out some liver cells with it.  Could also be stirring up a heightened immune response.  87 is not really alarming for one test. Ask your doc.

If your DNA is decreasing and can reach UND 6 months from start of baracrude, the treatment is effective.
