Thanks for the reply.

From what I can make out from your post is that HbeAG  ( -ver ) is surely good when ur viral load is less ( < 2000 ????) ...i will be going for HBV DNA in a couple of days probably then the pic wud be clearer..... right ?

As of now I have normal LFT and SGPT AND SGOT with Hbeag -ve ...


Is it good to be :

a anit Hbe( + ver )  and hbeag ( -ve )
\or
anitHbe (- ve ) and HbeAg( - ver )

thanks in advance .

depends on your case ofcourse.. there is no answer to this question.. people start at hebag+ . the idea of treatment is to convert from hbeag+ to hbeag- before they can stop treatment . but what happend if you find out you are a carrier of hepB and are hbeag- but with a viral load of over 2000 units then poof  gone the hope of monitoring and the 2007 guideline suggests treatment so maybe hbeag- wasnt that good after all since there was some type of viral activity.
you see.. all depends.. maybe best to turn hbeag= to negative while under the case of a doctor.. maybe best to be hbeag- with notmal liver fuction and just monitor.. all confsung huh ? well only because this is a unique virus and it acts differenyl from one person to another... there is no answer to your question ..definte answer , that is.  All hypethicals
