lamivudine is out of guidelines for hbv since many years, it simply doesn t work and just make resistance, tenofovir is the only antiviral you can use
antivirals dont cure hbv but only liver damage so if you have normal fibroscan there s no reason to take an antiviral, they are ment for life on those with liver damage since they dont cure hbv and have no effect on hbv clearance
dear Calebz,
My HBV DNA in undetactable.
SPOT - 88
SGPT - 100
+lamivudine
Make Fibroscan/Biopsy and HBV DNA quantitative.

Hi, Stefen,
Good morning..
i have done liver function test. report value details as given below.
SPOT - 88
SGPT - 100
its normal or not..
pls advice me for further treatement.
Lamivar is Lamivudine, first generation antiviral drug for Hepatitis B. It is very seldom used now because of its drug resistance profile. What is the purpose of taking antiviral if your viral load is already very low or undetectable? I suggest you get a second opinion from a liver specialist, not just ordinary doctor. Also please remember, when antiviral is needed, you usually have to take it for at least several years, not just 6 months.
pls advice me...............
thanks for your opinion.....at the movement doctor gave me treatement on hepatetis b. , medicine is LAMIVIR 100mg. daily * 6 month. can i countinue that treatment....pls advice me
If your wife is vaccinated and has antibodies, she will have immunity against infection. It is safe to have unprotected sex. So after your wife receives her 3 dose vaccination, have her tested for HbsAb.
if my wife has vaccinated . after sexually contact she how many chances to she getting hep B.
Your wife should be vaccinated, so should all your children. There is nothing to fear about Hepatitis B, there are treatments to keep it under control until we find a cure. All those close to you can be protected by vaccination.
You should have liver functions tests (ALT, AST, etc) and hbvdna. Establish a relationship with your liver doctor and get treatment when it is necessary.
thanks for reply.....Can u suggest me which test do of every 6 month. i m really worry about that. becose i m getting married in next 2 month. can i protect my wife & babies from virus hepatetis B.
If your hbvdna is undetectable, then it is likely you don't need treatment at the moment, you will just need a check up every 6 months. You should also have liver functions test too.
HEPATETIS B ENVOLOPE ANTIGEN ( HBeag)- negative
ANTI HEPATETIS B CORE ANTIGEN - IGM (AHBC-IGM)- negative
HBVDNA (pcr) is less than detecteble range....pls help me.....
HEPATETIS B ENVOLOPE ANTIGEN ( HBeag)- negative
ANTI HEPATETIS B CORE ANTIGEN - IGM (AHBC-IGM)- negative
HBVDNA is waited
These numbers don't mean much as different laboratories use different standards and methods. All we need to know is whether your are positive(reactive) or negative (non-reactive) to the tests for
HBsAg
HBsAb
HBeAg
HBeAb
HBcAb
HBcAb (Igm).
To determine whether you need treatment or not, we also like to know:
ALT
AST
hbvdna
history
Also it would be useful to know:
HBsAg (quantitative)
Fibroscan or biopsy.
