Hello all ,
As per doctor's opinion , we checked sgpt aftr 3 mnths ,it came as 38u/l (ok zone)
After another 3 mnth it came as 76u/l (danger zone)
We rushed to a local available doctor and did the following tests
Hbeag -ve
Hbeab + ve
Cbc normal
Kft normal
Lft normal (sgpt 43.3 iu/l , sgot 29iu/l , just after 1 day )
Afp serum 2.70 iu/ml
HBV DNA QUANTITATIVE 450,000 IU/ML
it also says , internal control -ct value 25.50
Sample ct- value 24.40
I am worried for this viral load .( is it possible to rise this so fast , 6 months back it was somewhere 34 then 242iu/ml)
Doctors blamed it on the medicines ,(itrconazole 200 mg) taken for hand infection ,(happened recently).
Appointment at ilbs is in december .
What should i do ?
Is it safe to wait till that period ?
He is on vitamin B &C complex + ursodeoxycholic acid tablets )
Local doctor also suggested for tenofovir .
Please guide .
Regards

Hi jsoo2 ,
In my limited knowledge you need these things to know ...
Hbsag (quantitative in iu/ml)
Hbv dna
Hbeag
Anti hbe
Fibroscan /biopsy
Ast/alt
Hbv genotype ( to know which type of antivral meication will suit you )
Vit d level
I will suggest you not to do tests as of now ,,coz your reports are only 3 mnths old and most probably they will do the tests there .
There first a junior doc of mr, sareen will see you and will suggest ,then you will go to sareen ..tests will be afterwards.
In my case endoscopy was done to rule out symptoms of varices etc in intestine/deodenum ,as father was not good in bowl movements for a while .
I guess they normally do a ultrasound or ct scan to get a general picture of liver .
Liv 52 ds by himalaya is a liver tonic , no harm in taking .
Your stay wil depend on the tests prescribed.
In my opinion they will call you again with test results , so any way you have to come back again .
They might be having skype consultation for nri guys , better ask there .
How old are you ? Male / female ? When did you find out your hbv status ?
Regards

HBeAg: 0.24 Non Reactive
Anti-HBe: 0.01 (<1.0 Reactive) Dr Lal Path Lab
ALt:95 U/Lt
AST:43 U/Lt
As per my doc in BBSR,I am taking LIV 52 twice daily.

Do they(ILBS) accept other lab report .is it mandatory to do the test only in ILBS.
CT scan and endoscopy are mandatory for all patients or case to case.
Do you recommend to do other test before going to Dr sarin.
I will stay 0nly 1 day (30March) in delhi.Do you feel it is ok or to stay one more day.
In your case you first meet Dr sarin then go for test or vice versa.

Hello js002 ,
Dr. Sarin is the most reputed doctor for hep b ,as far as i know and i.l.b.s is a specialized hospital for liver and biliary issues
Opd is open there all days except sunday . For doctor sarin u need to take a prior appointment which comes after 1 month or more .
As far as testing is concerned ,it depends on case to case .
I'll suggest you to come in fasting condition so that if possibe give samples on that day itself .
We took 2 days for ,,,blood test ,fibroscan ,ct scan , endoscopy +appointment .
Litte time saving things that you may do is ,,give blood first cause without kft reports they dont do ct scan , book endoscopy then ,,if you ae administered anesthesia it wll take minimun 3 -5 hrs , then go for ct scan , and at last fibrocan ,as they give report of fibroscan hand to hand .
Few bood report take days to come ,in that case you need to book appointment again ,best is to book on that day itself .
Best part is ,you can see your reports online .
Take care ,god bless you .
Any query is welcome

Hi sorte ,
Yes she was vaccinated 10 yrs back ( 3 doses ) , and recently with a booster dose in novemberr '15 . I am concerned because
1) my father recently diagnosed with hbsag positive .
2) while doing family screening 1 month back my mother had hbsag negative ,anti hbc igm 1.54 ,,,positive , anti hbe positive , anti hbs 5.6 negative . I did a test yesterday which shows anti hbs 69.7 positive .
In my limited knowledge it seems that she just recovered from an acute infection . Her anti hbc total was 0.98 . While 1.0 is border for positive .
I just administered 1 vaccine of hep b as told by doctor .
What is your input on this ?
Thanks and best regards

Hello steff , Will there be any problem if i give her vaccine (zenvac -B) right away , instead of waiting for few months ?
What makes you say that my mother has recovered ? Is it anti hbe positive ??
My mother had 3 shots of hbv vaccine 10 yrs back followed by 1 vaccine recently . Why is her hbs ab still low ? (Wrong vaccine ??) She had jaundice 11 yrs back .does that relate to anything ? She is not feeling well for last 20 days .can that be due to this acute infection ?
does my father has any chance to clear this without medication ? What suggest that he is a chronic carrier ?
I'll get everyone in my family checked for vit d ( vitd25oH + intact pth ,as suggested by you ) .
Thank you

Thank you steff ,your advice is always enlightening ,,, i am a big fan of yours .
God bless you for this beautiful duty.
God bless you for this beautiful duty.
just check your mother hbvdna and if undetectable you can use vit d3 supplements to boost hbsab, in any case since it was acute infection i d not use hbv vaccine and just monitor hbsab by few months, she ll porbably get it higher
hbsag 302iu/ml you can easily clear bby peginterferon, treatment is not needed if you want to keep hbv but if you do pegintf you ll clear it or reduce it so low that it will clear itslef
your mother cleared hbv already, nothing is needed for her, vaccine will boost her hbsab but if hbvdna is undetectable no so important
check her vitd25oh and keep it 60-90ng/ml to prevent general diseases and cancer and keep her healthy from aging diseases, higher vitd25oh may help boost antibodies too instead of hbv vaccine
Her anti hbc IgM is positive 1.54 , does this mean an acute infection ?
yes this means acute infection and that she already cleared it
