i think that doctor is looking for money, ultrasound is more than enough to see fatty liver once we know we have it it is useless to know where it is and how much, you just need to change food to organic fresh food and zero processed foods with chemicals or gmo food
Thanks. I was also recommended to take a tomography with contrast substance for my liver, to check where is the fat he said .and he said it's thinking more and more to do a biopsy having in mind that fibroscan and fibromax was f0 and my alt was 2x,3x higher than normal .
look at my older post "update on my fatty liver" i cleared it by few months by diet and supplements
Good luck in you drastic diet and hope your ALT to get back to the normal soon.
so, today after my doctor's visit , he told me that in march i had the triglyceride 230 and should had 140 or so He also told me that this can be genetic from my parents.. and for next 2 months i can't eat anything but vegetables and low fat meat and no sugar at all . he says that if my fatty liver won't go down at all it's a problem because now i had 120 ALT and doesn't know if it's from the virus or steatosis .so i have 2 months to have a drastic diet and hope for the best . also he said that milk thistle/silimarin doesn't have any effect, and it's all about placebo ..i hope not, because i started to take 1000mg daily also . have a great day guys
my alpha fetoprotein (tumoral marker) came 1.9 iu/ml [ 0.5-5.5 ] i hope is a good result . let us know what are your results . i already started eating garlic, and take silimarin supplements for my liver .
According to safisafa it seems garlic & blackseed good for immune system in 3.5 months 'th entecavir, garlic & blackseed my HBV DNA went all the way from millions to 1348iu/ml. Hope on my next check up My HBV 'll be undetected. Finger crossed!
i must check again ...i was like 350k hbsag, 6 months later 220 ... i sure hope so , i am wondering ..if i eat a lot of garlic will that improve my imune response ?
With your high alt and if hbsag is droping you will be a good peginterfron candidate
My last test results : Protombine time quick is normal, ast :40 , alt : 120, my detailed blood test came back also ok, afp( tumoral marker is not done yet ) ...so my alt just doesn't calm down ...i will go for hbvdna and hbsag again.. my doctor i think will ask me to try pegintherferon ..i will see him this week i think
I think all we have to take our chance with interf
he said if i will have to go under treatment his first line of meds will be interferon because it doesn't the virus doesn't became resistant and i have 30% chances to become inactiv carrier ...which from what i've read here, is not really to much
well, mine came around 50-60 ...and i have fatty liver which also can be the cause . i asked him about risks and he said that while having this high hbvdna and seeing my alt droping from 120 to 60 he strongly believe that i am imuno-tolerant, either way , i am under observation and in 2 months i will have my alt /ast done again along with AFP - tumoral marker .
So deferent point of view.i have my alat stable at 70ui I with high viral load I don't know in such phase am I?
he will further test me in 2 months ...my alt dropped and that's why he didnt' recommend me treatment for now .
no treatment needed, he says that in the imuno tolerance phase, as stef sais you are healthy like there is no virus .
Did he put you under treatment?
so, after seeing my doctor today, this are his conclusions :
i was wrong with hbvdna . last time when i checked, the results was: " >170 mil " (greater than 170 millions )
but now , was the exact amount of virus in the blood , 1.5 billions . hbsag dropped from 350k to 220k but he doesn't care about hbsag, he only cares about hbvdna..in my country hbsag is not to important . my alt is droping , is somewhere around 60 now. still have fat liver , i didn't know i am not supposed to eat sweets which i eat every day .. he says that i am most probably imuno tolerant ...
Realy I don't know the relation for me in 2012 I have decrease of viral load whereas an increase in hbsag.i think your doc will put you under treatment...since your hbe is +there is a chance that the treatment works well
Hi friends, Any review about this clinic as they are claiming that they have treated around 7000 chronic hepatitis B patients so far. I got to know while searching on google.
http://www.drbijuonline.com/index.php
"chronic hepatitis is little more difficult to manage but we shall 100% cure with an average time span of 72 day’s treatment."
"We are not able to guarantee a cure in carrier state as we have 685 uncured HBV carriers till date. But we are hopeful still because of our 7000 and odd cured cases. There are cases cured within 3 days and cured only after 2.6 years. As an average we calculated the duration of treatment as 45 days. That doesn’t mean the cure will be established within 45 days."
shouldn't be a corelation between hbvdna and hbsag ? if i understood correctly if hbvdna rise, hbsag will rise too . how come i have 100k hbsag down and hbvdna higher x10 times . indeed hbvdna i took in 2 different labs, but i don't think this huge difference has something to do with it .
6 months ago when i discovered was positive
Realy very high viral load but alat no too much high.were you hbe-or+ before?
