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.

you are still vit d deficent, the max value is 100ng/ml, possible increase of calcium after 350ng/ml (possible)
100ng/ml=249.6nmol/L

my god your doctor is incrdibly ingnorant, you are still vit d deficent, he doesnt even know the scales in nmol/l and ng/ml and doesnt even know what the normal values are and what toxicity is.
definitely change doctor or study the subject yourself

avoid tests in nmol/l, they are very old and not accurate, 105nmol/l is a low value, nmol/l is much lower than ng/ml and it is still used just to make confusion

how to make changes from ng/ml to nmol/l

you must drink water only if calcium is high, not if vitamin d is high, drinking water has no effect on vitamin d but only on calcium.

as i said before check vit 25oh in ng/ml and calcium, if calcium gets over 15 you need to drink water.normal calcium is until about 10.5-11 but it is dangerous when it gets higher than 15

CORRECTION

It si from 20/11/2011 NOT TO 2010

My Vitamin D Level was 32nmol/l(Not 32ng as I reported before)

I started Vitamin d3 10,000 iu/ml daily From 20/11/2010 up to 20/12/11 which is today.

I measured my vit d on 7/12/2011 which I got result today and it became 105 nmol/L which is only for three weeks and  I think If I measured today it will be more.

My Doctor advice me to stop and to drink a lot of water as I have got a mild headache.

He also asked me to have a calcium test which I did a blood test for today and I will get the result next week

Doctor told me the normal level is 80-150nmol

and of course like for interferon we have seen alinia monotherapy working for low hbsag carriers like 1500iu/ml

there is a common pattern on all alinia users, mono or nucs combo, a decrease of hbsag about 50% in first months of use and then a relapse, probably the virus is able to adapt to this interfernce, so like on hcv studies it makes sense to start alinia before interferon for 4-12 weeks then when hbsag reaches the lowest level add the interferon before the relapse.
the combo alinia+interferon probably helps to block the virus interferonce on interferon pathways.
interferon responders are very low and the reason is hbv is able to stop interferon pathways, so any mean to weaken the virus before addition of interferon is good and we know:

high vitamin d >50ng/ml for both hbv and hcv
low cholesterol by simvastatin for hbv, fluvastatin for hcv (tot chol<150,ldl<70 while hdl value has little effect as interferon booster)
alinia for both hbv and hcv
coffee for both hbv and hcv

may be we will find in the future that also gcmaf can help repond better to interferon

Thank you for your clarification.

she used it monotherapy, until now we have data alinia can work only with interferon, it boosts interferon response probably it is able to decrease the interference viruses can make on interferon.using it with interferon is a very good thing since we have data on it
