Hi all again, hi stef2011
here are my latter analyses... still on the way...
After 60 months of entecavir monotherapy:
ALT 30
HBsAg 47 UI/mL
HBeAg negative
HBV-DNA negative
antiHBe negative
I added on vit d3 during the last 3 months... 6000UI in the morning and 4000UI at night... Not sure if the amount of vit d3 is enough... I have more pills and I will reestar to add vit d3 nextly.
Hi All
I have been on this forum for two months and got valuable information.
I was detected HBsAg positive on 1st February 2016.
Results
HBsAg positive
HbeAg negative
HBcAB positive
Viral load 6250 iu /ml
SGPT 140 (later 69 in days without medication)
SGOT 80 (later 65 without medication)
HBsAg quantitative 1666.10 IU /ml
My doctor prescribed Entecavir 0.50mg, which I started 2 months ago.
On Engr_Delacruz suggestion/doubt the treatment may not be required for me at this stage, he asked me to take second opinion, which I did and the new hepatologist was surprised as to why antiviral was prescribed. He said now since you have started continue and after 3 months do the blood test. And consult him again.
All this is very confusing
Stef, Delacruz please throw some light on this.
congratulation i think you will slowly clear hbsag and get cured, when hbsag reaches about 10iu/ml you ll very sure to clear
process can be fasten by pegintf add on but i ll wait and see how it goes down adding vit d3
Hi all here are my latter analyses:
After 42 months of entecavir monotherapy:
ALT 28
HBsAg 100 UI/mL
HBeAg negative
HBV-DNA negative
antiHBe negative
After 54 months of entecavir monotherapy:
ALT 29
HBsAg 64 UI/mL
HBeAg negative
HBV-DNA negative
antiHBe negative
I will add on vit d3... Still on the way
hey any update on your hbsag count? is it finally lower than the latest reading? (100 IU/ML)?
stef are you there kindly answer
what is pth and how it is related to hbv
can i get rid of this.i lost my job because if this.although i was excellent in studies but now it hass became a mind game.sometime extremely dissappointing
be sure hbsag is reported with unit iu/ml otherwise the number is useless and not hbsag quantity
keep using etv and take vit d3 10.000iu daily too, test vitd25oh and intact pth after you are on d3 for at least 6 months.keeping optimum vit d levels helps keep liver healthy and it may boost some immune response too, not saying you ll clear hbsag by vit d but it wont harm for sure and may slowly decline hbsag over many many years
hi
i m having hbv for 5 years.i was diagnosed hbeag-ve.my dna viral load was 870.on march next was 180.now after five years on jun 2015 my dna is 4056.hbsag 1696,sgpt 27.sgot 45.my doctor has recently added me on entecavir .5mg.what would you say?after how much time the complete cure will be available.i was expelled from job because of the same.it is more psycologically now than phsically.
sorry i meant it is unrelated to etv
it is unrelated to hbv, what is fibroscan?
I started baraclude treatment 2 months ago, lost 4 kg of my body weight over 2 months, worried as hell, any suggestions?
Yeah my friend. I ve been for one year on IFN and it does not work at all... my fingers still crossed. It is nice to share these resutls with you all, and I hope you are also going well. I did not checj my Vit D3, but of course, I wll take some pills as i did a year ago ;-)
Thanks!
ps.- in six months i will post the new analyses.
Great result! After 42 months on ETV, looks like you are on your way. There is a chance you will be HBsAg negative on ETV. You were on IFN for one year pre-ETV for 1 year?
What's your Vit D3 numbers in ng/ml?
it is very ok, just make sure your vitd levels are over 90-100ng/ml so immune function is at optimum state
you are among the 10% of lucky ones hbeg positive that clear on etv or tdf

Still waiting for seroconversion. The doctor very happy he asked me for research studies since my response to entecavir is being so fast. appy to hera that. I will have my new analysis by september and I wll post as well. He told me that probably I will finish with ETV and with my HBV in 1-2 years.
Congratulations...! I become very happy with the good news.
Hi everyone. Finally my Hbsag is now non-reactive. Hope all of you guys will be cured soon. God Bless everyone and have a Merry Christmas!
milk thistle too
don t take this because it has an antinflammatory effect and mght lower your immune response.it does help with liver function but in ur case it may lower immune response
