Results after about 2 months of VitD3 5000iu and heptec

[April9903]

In April my viral load was 1.7 mil copies/ml.

the results now:-
Fibroscan -- 4.6 kpa
HBV DNA --  55,814 copies/ml
HBsAg (Quantitative) --  2906.99 IU/ml (cut off= 0.05 IU/ml)
25OH Vitamin D3 --  40.8 ug/l

Alt -- 54 u/l -----high (normal 0 - 44)
Ast -- 53 u/l ----high (normal 15 - 41)

Genotype, Precore Mutation, Polemerase mutation have to wait about 2 weeks.
My alt, art is always a little bit high. My doctor already wanted to treat me and she said I have about 50% chance now if I make peg interferon treatment. But I told her I wanted to wait for the time being.
I think vitD3 or heptec or both helped me in dropping so much hbv dna.

my alt and art is high like this for about 2-3 years I think.

I know,it is very disapointing. I came to the conclusion that the virus doesn't care no matter what we try do do, unless we are on treatment.

Happy New Year everybody! Hopefully one year closer to absolute cure of our disease.

Results on (26-09-2011) are as follows:

Fibroscan -- 4.6 kpa
HBV DNA --  55,814 copies/ml
HBsAg (Quantitative) --  2906.99 IU/ml (cut off= 0.05 IU/ml)
25OH Vitamin D3 --  40.8 ug/l
SGOT/AST-----53 u/l---- high-----( Ref.15 - 41 )
SGPT/ALT-----54 u/l-----high-------( Ref.0 - 44 )


Latest results on (5-1-2012) are as follows:

Fibroscan -- Not done
HBV DNA --  473,748 copies/ml
HBsAg (Quantitative) --  3054.03 IU/ml (cut off= 0.05 IU/ml)
25OH Vitamin D3 --  59.4 ng/ml
SGOT/AST-----62 u/l---- high-----( Ref.15 - 41 )
SGPT/ALT-----63 u/l-----high-------( Ref.0 - 44 )

I am a little bit depressed because of the results. Vit D3 level is definitely up but hbvdna relaspe , I guess.

by the way if interferon is ever planned, interferon response gets higher in following cases:

vit d25oh>35ng/ml
tot chol<150mg/dl
ldl<80mg/dl

and of course alinia can boost interferon response by pkr

if you see colombatto you can discuss everything about vit d with him, he of course knows how to deal with vit d and when it can be good or not

you can also test vit d when you are in pisa if it is not free in UK, in italy it goes from 16euro to 25euro according to the machines used.most of machines are not accurate in counting vit d accurately the newest and most accurate use something called chemioimmunescence or similar name but you can understand it those are the ones used because the range in updated to normal range 30-100ng/ml (some have still normal range 11-100ng/ml)
i have also found a few machines with normal range 30-60ng/ml, but again do not worry too much about those ranges, the latest normal range are 40-100ng/ml

unfortunately much scum and influence from drug makers has happened in vit d filed and we have to read studies ourselves to avoid the confusion.when vit d patent was rejected they did confunsion on studies and ranges and try to push use of synthetic vit d2 which is useless

[stef2011]

no i checked them every 3-4 months but vit d positive effect is proven by studies on antiviral activity of vit d on many viruses, hbv and hcv incuded
